Linking Marketing Activities to Opportunities

You can link marketing activities to individual opportunities. The quick method is to use the ‘Source’ field at the opportunity level. The more involved method allows your marketing team to define detailed marketing activities (Sage CRM calls these wave activities). The 3-minute video below provides you with an overview.

S5Scheduler for Sage CRM

S5Scheduler for Sage CRM provides a more practical means to visualizing date specific content from Sage CRM. For example, allowing you to see a schedule of jobs for your install team OR deliverables for your outside Sales team. In the real life example below, we are displaying service jobs that have… 

  • Color coded events to reference a specific user/team/status/product/location (whatever you require)
  • The color on the far right indicates the stage of the event
  • Hovering over the S5Scheduler event displays additional details
  • In the Hover, you can drill down into the details of a event
  • Works with any Sage CRM custom entity that includes date sensitive information

S5Scheduler is perfect for companies that find the default Sage CRM calendar/scheduling features too limiting.

How My CRM Manager works with clients

The video below walks through how we work with clients to document and progress jobs in our system. AND how we report this information back to clients.

We use Sage CRM to manage individual jobs. A CRM workflow controls how the job is entered and how it progresses along from the Project Manager, to the technical team, and then back to the Project Manager. If you wanted to see our case workflow in detail, use this link.

Outbound Email User Delegation

If your Sage CRM system has been configured for Outbound email AND users have 365 accounts, then whenever a new CRM user gets added, whomever manages your MS Exchange must remember to go into the Exchange Admin Center and enable the user’s email address  to have either SEND AS or SEND ON BEHALF rights for the crm@ address that was used to configure outbound email in Sage CRM.

This is a task for your IT Team or whomever manages your Exchange. The email address crm@ is the single address used by Sage CRM users to send emails out.

You might also want to check the other user email accounts to ensure they also have these delegation rights.
