Due Dates and Automatic Follow-ups

Improve the customer experience, drive higher conversion rates and save valuable time by automating communication tasks with Proposals, Approvals and Payments.

  • Due Dates are a Pro & Enterprise feature

  • Automatic Follow-ups are an Enterprise only feature

Proposals

  • customers are sent a series of options and need to select one option

  • go to Preferences > Proposals

  • set the number of days until a Proposal is 'voided'

    • you are telling the customer that these offers/prices are only good for this many days

    • gives the customer a sense of urgency

  • set how often to resend the pending Proposal (the cadence) and the number of times you want it sent during the above time period

    • set this within the range of the above (don't set things up to send out after it has been set to be voided)

  • system will resend a 'pending' Proposal until the customer acts on the Proposal, the number of tries have been used up or until it is 'voided'

  • NOTE: a default message can also be added in the 'Comments' and will then appear on all Proposals (this can be customized on an individual basis)

Approvals

  • customers are sent information and documents pertaining to a job and need to 'approve' and sign off on the information and attachments

  • go to Preferences > Approvals

  • set the number of days until an Approval is 'voided'

    • you are telling the customer that the ability to approve of the job, price, schedule date and any attachments is only good for this many days

Payments

  • customers are sent a Payment Request in order to pay for the services rendered

  • Payment Requests will not 'void' but will be marked 'past due'

  • go to Preferences > Payment

  • set the number of days until a payment is 'past due'

    • this is essentially the due date for the payment

    • if you don't receive the payment by this time period the status will change from 'pending' to 'past due'

      • this then allows you to run reports on your 'past due' payments

  • set how often to resend the 'pending' Payment Request during the above time period

    • set this within the range of the above (don't set things up to send out after it has been set to be changed to 'past due')

  • system will resend a 'past due' Payment Request until the customer makes payment or the resending parameters are met

  • NOTE: a default message can also be added in the 'Comments' and will then appear on all Payment Requests (this can be customized on an individual basis)
