Different ways to use Intro message and Next steps templates
Copied to clipboard.
Intro message templates are pre-written messages that you can use to introduce yourself to new clients or to re-engage with existing clients.
Next steps template messages are similarly pre-written messages but only appear after the proposal has been signed. They are often used to guide clients through the onboarding process and help them understand the next steps.
Both of these can be used in conjunction with each other to create a streamlined yet personalized client experience.
