Bio/Profile Page

Your public page: who you are, how to book you, your videos, reviews and links.

Multi-Touchpoint CRM

A CRM where every touchpoint, such as a booking, form, link click, video view or event registration, writes to the same person's timeline.

Lead and contact

A lead is a person you are still qualifying. A contact is a person you know. You convert a lead to a contact deliberately.

Pipeline stage

A step in your sales process, such as New, Qualified or Proposal. You define the stages and drag leads between them.

Dynamic Audience

A saved rule set over your CRM that recalculates when you send, so the right people are included automatically.

Journey

An automated flow that starts from a CRM trigger and sends emails, waits, branches and updates the CRM.

Replicated system

A company's system copied to each member with their own identity, calendar and CRM.

Space and Group

In Team Chat, a Space is a company-run channel for announcements and training. A Group is a smaller conversation a member starts.

Brand Kit

Approved products, services, logos, colors, fonts & more that members can view and use.

Opt-out

A person's choice to stop marketing email or text. Upward honors it and only the person can reverse it.

Vutesa
