Creating Tasks

Creating Tasks

You can manage actions such as events, tasks or calls with your customers.
 
Ideally, a salesperson has to manually keep tabs on the pending follow-ups or product demos that he has with his customers. With no actual means to remind him before the due date, chances of missing them is high. 
 
Activities module in Bigin allows you to add your events, tasks or calls that you have with your customers. You can also choose to be reminded of your activity so that you don't miss them anymore. Further, you can create a custom view of how you would like to view the activities in your Bigin account.
