Understanding Your CRM
The CRM (Customer Relationship Management) hub helps you manage relationships with clients, contacts, and customers. It's your central database for everyone your business interacts with.
What is the CRM?
Your CRM stores and organises:
Clients — businesses and organisations you work with
Contacts — individual people at those businesses
Communications — emails and messages you've exchanged
Meetings — notes from conversations and meetings
Files — documents associated with clients
Invoices — billing records
Lists — groups of clients or contacts for communications
Accessing the CRM
Go to CRM from the main menu. You'll see:
Quick stats showing your total clients, contacts, and recent activity
Navigation to different CRM sections
Quick actions for common tasks
Clients vs Contacts
Understanding the difference:
Clients
Clients are businesses or organisations:
Tourism operators you work with
Corporate clients who book with you
Partner organisations
Government bodies
Each client record includes:
Business name and type
Location and contact details
Status (active, pending, archived)
Associated contacts
Contacts
Contacts are individual people:
The marketing manager at a client business
A travel agent who books regularly
Your contact at a regional tourism organisation
Each contact is linked to a client and includes:
Name and role
Email and phone
Communication history
