Tip 1: Using Macros to Save Time with Zoho CRM

Firstly, you can make sure you save time with Zoho CRM, by using Macros.

Macros are a string of actions that will carry out a set of instructions to make your life easier! You can programme macros to carry out multiple processes. They can be used on several records at the same time.

Having to complete repetitive tasks, such as sending emails and

 updating your lead status, can be long, tedious and time consuming. As a result, using macros to automate these processes can really cut down on unnecessary hassle and save you a lot of time!

Tip 2: Your Homepage Can Help to Save Time

Save time with Zoho CRM by customizing your homepage!

Customizing your homepage can make you so much more efficient, as you are able to:

●   Organise your day

●   Organise the day’s work for the rest of your team

●   View tasks

●   View potentials

●   View dashboards

By adding in these things, you can easily access areas that you would need on a regular basis, once again saving you time!

Tip 3: Saving Time with Dashboards

You can easily save time with Zoho CRM by creating and personalising your dashboards.

Zoho CRM allows you to create multiple dashboards, including private dashboards and shared dashboards. These allow you to see an overview of various business activities.

Creating these lets you easily access multiple different sections of important information, whilst also being able to stay organised.

Editing the design of your dashboards also helps to make sure they are suited to your personalised needs and, therefore, enable you to quickly access data and save time with Zoho CRM.

     

Tip 4: Task Creation for Efficient Use of Time

 

Another huge way to save time with Zoho CRM is by automating task creation.

For example, one way to do this is by using macros, which we mentioned earlier. However, you can also do this by using workflows and the blueprints feature.

Rather than manually completing each task manually and repeatedly, automating them can really help to save time with Zoho CRM and, as a result, increase your efficiency.
