Why Dubsado is as Just as Important as My First Coffee of The Day!
My to-do list in the morning always starts with…head to my favourite cafe + order the biggest coffee they have + open up Dubsado! I started going almost full time with my design business in October last year and there are some tools I can’t live without so I thought I’d share them with you, and this is one of them :)
What does it do? Helps you get it all done! It helps you manage and communicate with your clients; create workflows and systems to streamline your biz and increase productivity; and makes things like completing contracts and getting paid so simple and easy!
What are three things I love about it?
Being into design, as surface level as this might sound, the layout and look has to appeal to me and Dubsado does this in spades. Sleek, lots of white space, the option to choose minty green as the main colour!
Before Dubsado I used to spend so much time invoicing and chasing up payments for invoices. Now, I barely have to use all the bells and whistles they have for invoicing (automatic reminders, workflows etc) because for some reason my clients just pay. Yay! I give my clients packages to choose from in the quoting stage, and once they press the buttons on what they want, an invoice is automatically generated…too easy!
My business is allll about animation, illustration and video. This means when I send my clients proofs for approval, they’re often a bunch of video files. Before Dubsado I had to use individual links or confuse my clients with downloads. Now I can embed the videos into my preview workflow with them….and prompt them to make decisions by using questionnaires and check boxes etc. Added bonus? If I forget what we discussed and decided I can look back on the preview forms at any time in two simple clicks…no more sifting through emails and conversation threads looking for information!
Curious about trying it out for yourself? They have free trials, yay! And this affiliate link and code (PPDLOVESDUBSADO) will do something fancy to help you get started :P I’d love to hear what you think…I’m even contemplating adding Dubsado setups and customisations into my services. That’s how you know my raves are real :)
