How to use CRM boards – Nexudus

How to add and set up a CRM board

You can set up different stages (columns) on your CRM board to represent the steps in a particular process, such as a sales pipeline. Stages can automatically receive opportunities when someone completes a tour request, makes a booking, signs up or ends their contract for one of your plans. This helps automate your sales process.

Each stage can also trigger a task list or send a message macro when an opportunity is added. This makes it easier to assign a set of tasks to different people in your team when someone is added to one of the stages on a board or to notify that person or a member of team when this happens.

Typically, you will have different boards, each dedicated to one of your processes. Keep in mind that boards can help you track progress through many different processes, not just sales. For example, they can also be used to organise your events, on-boarding of new members, or marketing activities. For an example of how typical boards may look like please see below. In this view, you can see each board and each column or step in the board as well as some basic information about opportunities in each of the steps.

CRM boards and their stages

Clicking on each board opens a more detailed view of all steps or columns within the board where you can see some more details: current number of opportunities, their total value and whether they have any due items in them.
