Blinded by the bright lights of the dashboard page? ✨ Unsure of what 07-08-2022 means and would rather a visual representation? Change your preferences in your profile! Want to perpetually be in dark mode? Done. Want to see your appointments on a calendar instead of a list? Why not - go ahead! 🎈 

Find all of the above by clicking on your display picture/ initials in the bottom right corner of your Dabadu screen 🔦 

Operations Your leads anniversary is coming up and they want to buy a car for their spouse, 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 or they are purchasing a car for their child's 18th birthday and you can only call between 3-6pm to work out the details and not spoil the surprise. You know who would know that? 💁 The reception team - they get all the good gossip! 💬 They can now share that with you through the lead detail notes ✏ Right after they have created the walk-in as a lead and checked them in for their appointment 👣 all in the Dabadu system! Welcome to the party!

Enhancement How do you mean by that? 😉 How would it change your managers life if you could add notes while you change the lead status ✏ Explain your thoughts, help the team out with some insight, clarity, and transparency. Write hints to your later self as your lead transitions into the next phase of the sales process, so you are always on your toes going into the next conversation.

New Features "Just following up here; looking to close the loop on this", "Wanted to pick this back up and run an idea up the flagpole to get your thoughts and create an action plan going forward" 💢 You've created the appointment in your calendar - great - now what's stopping you from just setting it and forgetting it? 📆  Appointments and Reminders; that's what. Set semi-minute-ly reminders to circle back and send those texts, hop on those phone calls, and close those deals. Can't make a sale, if you don't make it to the appointment - we've got you though; you can't miss the reminders, they are literally everywhere 🌐 

New Features For those of you who think numbers are important - even if they aren't following a dollar sign 💸 Dabadu has brought you customized data abilities!

New Features Dark Mode 😈 #ifyouknowyouknow 😎   Try it out when you're up late and prepping for a good day's work in the morning - being prepared means you can hit the ground running. But you certainly can't do that with the light of 1000 suns shining in your eye balls 👀  Test out the dark mode - work comfortably through the night. Now available on the web and mobile app 👍 

Operations Life as a Millennial/ Gen Z is hard, sometimes typing up a support ticket/ chat seems like soo much work 😴  Dabadu doesn't believe that that's a good enough reason to not get support tho, so we have implemented open virtual support sessions! Just log in, sit back and ask your questions; our support team can walk you through the issue with no extra typing required! You work hard enough; you deserve it! 🚫 💻
