Working With Jobs & Contacts

JobNimbus helps keep you organized through jobs and contacts.

Let's start by talking about contacts and jobs

JobNimbus is set up to work with how you do your business. You have customers with whom you work, and you have jobs you do for those customers. In JobNimbus, you can add multiple jobs to the same contact, for example, if we are doing gutters this month, we can add a job for that, and then next month add another for siding.

Your jobs will help you keep track of the progress of your projects and house all of the information for that job. You can think of the job’s file like a file you would pull from your filing cabinet.

There are different types of contacts that you may encounter in your account. JobNimbus can keep track of your suppliers, subcontractors, leads, and team members. All of these are contacts in your system. When using jobs, these contacts will be like your phone book. Think of them just like a contact list that you associate with your job.

You jobs will help you keep track of the progress of your project and your contacts will keep track of how you contact them.

We are going to be working with a lead. You may already have some leads to work with, but let’s create a test contact for this training. Follow along and create your own as we build out our test contact, Gary Grant, and the job we create for him.
