This is very common because the other systems that small business owners are keen to make money and income.

You can optimize the shopping cart and autoresponders, so that’s the data that gets pulled in an Infusionsoft transition, and the custom of the ‘old way things were done’ often continues from that point.

It’s okay to start with the basic functions that you understand, but it’s crucial to start to use the other parts of the system quickly so that you can develop standards and processes easily.

Listed below are a few key things I like about the three main Infusionsoft functions that help with how to start a small business:

1. СRМ Маnаgеmеnt

Іnfusіоnsоft hаs а rеmаrkаblе СRМ sуstеm, tо mаnаgе аll уоur соntасt rесоrds аnd lоаds оf dаtа fоr еасh соntасt.

Not only can you store an almost unlimited number of areas of data within each contact record, but it’s well organized and easy to find what you need – from addresses to encrypted credit card information, to requests and email correspondence (all emails, from single mails to broadcasts and follow up emails).

It very robust. And one of the neatest features is that you can upload files (such as client contracts or other docs) to your client records too.

Many of my customers use the Notes function to monitor coaching conversations with their clients, in addition to networking or consultations contact with prospective clients.  The task function is one of my favorites, because it helps me know what to do wih following up high ticket clients. Just great stuff.

2. Marketing

The Campaign Builder is a fantastic way to set up all your campaign pieces for any specific launch, promotion, product sale, program, or anything you want to promote  in your business.

The pieces of the campaign builder allow you to set up emails very easily, apply tags for segregation, build opt in pages and landing pages in a flash.

You can even start and stop followup sequences by other activities that are taken somewhere else in the system.

As an example, if my team has a phone call with a client then sends me a request to do a sales task, I can ‘check off’ that job in my dashboard, and that can kick off the appropriate sequence for that particular client or prospect.

3. E-commerce

The shopping cart component of Infusionsoft seems clunky to set up initially – with so many places to visit set up things like order forms, payment strategies, рrоmо соdеs аnd sо fоrth.  

But after getting the hang of where things are it becomes a nice little dance from place to place as you set up some neat options for your products.

There are many neat features for shopping cart design and upselling too, but the easy ‘purchase’ link is very easy to set up quickly, and placing orders and managing payments is essentially done in a couple of clicks.  

It’s a great smooth system for updating credit cards and scheduling payment dates.
