Meetings and tasks: planning your workday
Two building blocks for your workday: meetings (viewings and appointments) and tasks (action items and follow-ups). Both are linked to a specific record, contact, lead, deal, or property, so the context always comes along.
When do you use this?
Section titled “When do you use this?”- A lead asks for a viewing, you schedule it directly
- A colleague needs to call a client back, you create a task for them
- A team meeting to review the pipeline
- Online appointment with an English buyer, Zoom link with the appointment
