FAQ: How do I add a meeting in Teamleader Focus?

 

There are several possibilities to add meetings in Teamleader Focus:

  1. Add a meeting via the dashboard
  2. Add a meeting via the calendar
  3. Add a meeting via the plus sign
  4. Add a meeting via a deal
  5. Add an online meeting via the Lead capture Booster
  6. Add a meeting via a deal phase
  7. Add a meeting via a project

 

1. Add a meeting via the dashboard

  • The first possibility is to add a meeting straight on your dashboard by clicking the plus sign.
  • Next you can complete the details of this meeting. Fill out the customer field to link this meeting to a contact/company. As you can see, you have different locations to choose from.
    This choice has an effect on how much you can invoice your customer as you can let Teamleader Focus calculate the travel costs and add them automatically to your invoice. 
  • Once the meeting is created, you will see you can add colleagues (via the pencil) and external contacts (via the plus sign) to the meeting:

 

Send meeting invitations and reminders

When you add external contacts to a meeting, you have the option to send a meeting invitation and a reminder for the meeting the day before via text. However, you do need to set up templates for meeting invitations and need to agree internally on whether you want to send a reminder the day before or not.

 

Add recurring meetings

If you conduct weekly meetings, use the option to copy a meeting or make a meeting recurring. Select a meeting and click the three dots next to "Meeting info" > Repeat meeting.

 

2. Add a meeting via the calendar

  1. Another option is to go to Calendar > Meetings and clicking on Add meeting in the top right-hand corner.
  2. You can also add a meeting by double-clicking in the calendar and selecting Add meeting

 

3. Add a meeting via the plus sign

  1. Or click on the plus sign in the top right hand corner and select ‘add meeting’.
  2. Teamleader Focus will automatically complete the meeting with information depending on where you are when you click the plus sign. For example, if you open a contact in the CRM section and then click this plus sign, this contact person will automatically be filled out as the 'Customer' of the meeting.

 

4. Add a meeting via a deal

On your deal page you can find the section 'Scheduled actions'. Click on the button Meeting to add a meeting and it will be automatically linked to your deal.

 

5. Add an online meeting via the Lead capture Booster

After you’ve activated the Lead capture Booster in your account, you can go ahead and start creating your online meetings. Read this article to learn how.

 

 

6. Add a meeting via a deal phase

  1. You can trigger follow-up actions when moving a deal from one phase to another. Read more about it here. A follow-up action could be a follow-up meeting for example.
  2. When moving from one phase to another, a pop up window opens automatically with the customer details already filled in.
  3. You can link the meeting to the deal here. 

 

7. Add a meeting via a project

  1. Go to the project in question and navigate to the Work breakdown of this project.
  2. Here you have the possibility to add a meeting. Click on the arrow next to 'Add task' in the top right-hand corner and choose Add meeting.

 

Closing a meeting and time tracking

When closing a meeting, time tracking will be added automatically to your timesheets and/or the timesheets of the colleague(s) in the meeting.
As the feature time tracking is not available in our GO package, no time will be added here.
