Contrary to popular belief, you can automate your client process and still sound like a human.

If you searched every page of our website for the words “automation” or “automating”, it’s likely that more results would come up than there are people in the state of Missouri. We talk about it so much because we’re in love with it! We’re two women with a lot of stuff on our plates, and whenever we can put something on autopilot, we’re all over it in a heartbeat.

One of the key places we believe automation should happen is in your client onboarding process. Wait a second, we see that grimace on your face. Oftentimes, it isn’t thought that “automate” and “client” should be in the same sentence together because automation usually brings images of a robot *beep boop beep*, and no one wants to seem like a depersonalized robot to the people that are going to be giving you their money.

But what if we told you there’s a way you can automate your client onboarding process while, yes, still sounding like a human being? In today’s blog post, we’re going to take a dive into how you can do this in Dubsado so that you’ll have more time on your hands to care for your clients like the human you are.

Email is one of our most favorite things to talk about! In the 5 years we’ve been in business, we’ve seen 100k+ new subscribers come through our doors. It’s been an amazing outlet for us to provide exclusive value to our audience outside of your everyday Instagram post. With email, there’s a more personal connection you gain by being allowed space in someone’s inbox.

Since we’ve had our fair share of methods that worked (and didn’t) to grow our email list, we wanted to share with you our top 5 favorite ways to get people to sign up for your email list and increase conversions!

We all know how much we love Dubsado’s workflows (so much so that we wrote a whole blog post about them, which you can check out here). But what you may not know is that, although their native workflows serve tons of amazing actions, you can take your automation game one step further by integrating with Zapier.

We’ve been around the block with Zapier a few times, so much so that we could dub ourselves Zap experts, and we’ve thought of more ways that you can take Dubsado to the next level! Keep reading to learn 4 more things you can automate using the Dubsado and Zapier integration.

Dubsado is one of our favorite CRMs, and a big reason for that is because it’s so robust. There are tons of features that are needed by any service-based business, and one that we think is sometimes overlooked is the client portal. Not only is it useful for your clients to easily keep track of files, emails, and documents that you’ve shared with them, but it also adds that “wow” factor to their experience.

We’re all about branding everything, so it’s no surprise that we fell in love when we learned that the client portal can also be branded. With a few quick tweaks in your settings and 15 minutes in Canva, you can have a beautifully branded client portal.

There’s no denying that social media came into our lives and completely took over. For both personal and business use, 7 in 10 Americans are on some form of social media platform.

Businesses are turning to social media as their main source of traffic with most solely focusing their marketing efforts on platforms like Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. But can you blame them? Just take a look at the numbers.

Facebook has 2.8 billion active users every month.

416 million people are using Pinterest each month.

1 billion people are active on Instagram every month.

We know how scary that sounds, which is why we want to give you our top 6 tips to boost your social media marketing game for 2021!

We’re no stranger to Instagram Stories, and we’d venture to guess that you might not be either. Even if you aren’t utilizing Stories in the way that you could, they’ve been around for almost 5 years now, and over 500 million people use them each day. (source) Their popularity is only increasing, regardless of the new takeover by Reels. Stories are, you could say, a classic!

They’re the perfect way to connect with your followers on a more personal level than just a static feed post, or really even an IGTV video. Stories are more real-time, with photos and videos posted having usually been taken right there on the spot. The plus of also being able to see your face and mannerisms and hear your voice gives your audience the opportunity to see the face behind the brand, which can be so essential for small businesses.

They hold a great power for business owners to build relationships and trust with their followers. But sometimes, they almost seem like a strange artform that some have perfected and some haven’t, so that’s why we want to share with you 8 ways to use Stories to boost engagement for your business!
