Overview

OneFocus™ is a powerful Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution exclusive to Lead Liaison. We built it from the ground up with our partners in mind, focusing on efficiency and integration. Best of all, we made OneFocus™ available to every Lead Management Automation (LMA)™ subscriber at no additional charge.

Getting Started

To get started with OneFocus™, tell your representative that you would like to use the CRM. As long as you are subscribed to LMA™, our support team will activate it on your account with no other action needed on your part.

To verify your installation, log into the Lead Liaison app and navigate to the Home Screen. An extended Sales menu should be located directly beneath the Dashboard option. You should also see an orange asterisk symbol in the lower right of your screen – this is the CRM Sales Shortcuts. If this is not correct, please inform you representative so we can verify your activation.

Security Profiles

You can use Security Profiles to decide who can access what parts of your CRM. For example, you may work with a contractor that you'd like to give access to your prospects, but you would not like them to see your current active contracts or pending deals. To access security profiles,

• Click the Settings gear on the top right of the screen
• Navigate to Users
• Click Security Profiles

Edit existing security profiles by clicking the Edit button to the far right of the profile. Add a new profile by clicking the green New Profile button in the top left. All OneFocus™ options are listed under CRM.

Settings

To change OneFocus™ settings,

• Click the Settings gear on the top right of the screen
• Navigate to App Setup
• Click CRM

Use the switches to toggle the settings on or off. The table below explains each setting and its function.

Pipelines

Pipelines represent the stages of the Deals in your funnel. By creating your own pipeline, you can define sales stages that are specific to your organization and sales program. You can also create multiple pipelines for different Teams. For example, you may want a general pipeline and a pipeline for public accounts or nonprofits.  To manage pipelines,

• Click the Settings gear on the top right of the screen
• Navigate to App Setup
• Click CRM
• Navigate to the Pipelines tab

Here you will see all of your pipelines. You can view pipelines by name, number of stages, creator, and creation date. To create a new Pipeline,

• Click the green New button

• Enter a Name and Description

• Click Save to use Lead Liaison's default stages

OR

• Click Save & Create Stages to define your own stages

By default, we use five stages: awareness, qualification, interest, proposal, and closure. You can customize your own pipeline stages to match your organization's preferred process. You can have as few or as many stages as you need. 

• Stage – change the name or color code of a stage
• Probability – the probability Deals in that stage will close
• Stage Rot – set the number of days a deal can be in a stage before it rots. Sometimes called "stalled" or "dead".
• Trash – delete stage
• New Stage – add a new stage to the pipeline 
• Change Stage to – automatically move a Deal to a specific stage when Closed-Won

Probability will affect the total value of Deals in the Pipeline. For example, a $1000 Deal with 10% probability will report $100 in value. See the Pipelines page for more details.

When setting Stage Rot, be sure to take into account your longest sales cycle. A Deal should only be flagged with Stage Rot when it has passed the point that most Deals fall through. 

Now that you have created Pipelines, you can edit and delete them from the Pipelines menu. Simply mouse over the the far right of the Pipeline you wish to edit or delete, and an Edit and Trash icon will appear. You can also use the drop down menu to set a pipeline as the default.

Object Layouts

Object Layouts control what information is displayed on an Object's detail page. Objects include Prospects, Organizations, and Deals. To create an Object Layout,

• Navigate to an Object Profile
• Locate the Details Card on the left of the screen
• Click the gear in the top-right corner of the Details Card 
  
• Click New Layout
• Give the layout a name in the Layout Name field
• Click and drag to rearrange fields
  

Once you have created the layout, you can switch between them using the drop-down menu in the top-left corner of the Details page.

.

To edit a layout, you can click on the pencil icon in the top-right corner of the Details page. 

Sections

You can create sections to organize your fields. For example, the default layout includes sections for Personal Information, Privacy, and Other. To create a new section

• Open the Details page
• Click New Layout
  OR
• Click the edit icon
• Click on the (+) icon in the top-right corner of the layout editor 

Assigning Layouts

When you create a layout, the layout is set to private by default. This means it will only be available to your user account. You can set the layout to Public to grant access to all users, or click Share to assign the layout to particular users.

Remember, once you share a layout with non-admin users, they will not be able to access the default layout. This includes if they create the layout themselves. 

Layout Permissions

You might wish to restrict who has permission to edit or create layouts. To do so, navigate to Settings > Users > Security Profiles. Select the appropriate profile and click Edit. Locate and expand the Object Layouts section.

• Include Other's Private – view all layouts, even if marked as private (usually for admins/managers only)
• Manage Private Layouts – allow users to create and edit their own personal layouts
• Manage Public Layouts – allow users to create, edit, and share layouts

Manage Layouts

You can view all existing layouts by navigating to Settings > App Setup > Manage Fields and clicking on the tab for the appropriate object. Then, click the Layouts icon in the top-right corner of the screen. From here you can see all layouts and delete any that are no longer necessary.

Navigating 

Once you have activated OneFocus™, you can access it using the Main Navigation Menu on the left and selecting Sales.

The Sales menu includes the following options:

Contracts - view all contracts currently in the systems as well as start and end dates. 

Deals - view and add deals by pipeline step in real time. Sometimes known as "opportunities."

Organizations - view and add new organizations.

Prospects - view and add new prospects. Sometimes known as "leads" or "contacts."

Sales Emails - view record of sales emails sent over a specified time period.

Import - Import Prosects, Organizations, and Deals. 

Note: if you only see the Sales Emails option, the CRM is not running. Make sure you have an LMA™ subscriptions and request your Client Success Manager to activate OneFocus™ on your account. If you still don't see the additional options, please visit support.leadliaison.com, or contact your representative.

Using OneFocus™

Prospects

OneFocus™ CRM changes the way Lead Liaison™ displays Prospect Profiles. From the CRM-version of the Prospect Profiles screen, you can view any Organizations, Attachments, Activities, Deals, and Contracts associated with the Prospect. You can also still see contact information, automatons, and lists shown in the non-CRM version.

Organizations

OneFocus™ adds an Organization Profile to the Lead Liaison platform. You can view any Prospects, Attachments, Activities, Deals, and Contracts associated with the Organization. You can also add Notes, Tasks, and new Attachments.

Deals

Deals are the sales opportunities within a Pipeline. Users can create a deal as soon as they can enter a value for the sale. You can associate deals with Prospects and Organizations, and keep up to date on tasks from the Manage Deals page.

Contracts

The Contracts page shows all of the Contracts you've put into the system. From this page, you can add a new Contract, edit and existing Contract, or delete a Contract.

Notes

Notes are an excellent way to keep track of your interaction with Prospects. For example, you may wish to note that a Prospect prefers a certain kind of food, or that an Organization's decision-making process follows a particular flow.

You can associate notes with Prospects, Organizations, and Deals. Add new notes by using the New Note button in the Sales Shortcuts, or by using the Task Panel on a profile page.

The three drop-down menus at the top of the New Note form allow you to search for the Prospect, Organization, or Deal you want to associate the note with. Use the text editor to format your Note. The Note will appear in the Timeline on their profile page. 

Tasks

Tasks represent the activities you perform while working with a Prospect, Organization, or Deal. Your organization may track the number and type of tasks you complete per week, so make sure you review with your sales manager. 

Like Notes, you can associate a Task with Prospects, Organizations, and Deals. Add new Tasks by using the New Tasks button in the Quick Menu, or by using the Task Panel on a profile page.

The three drop-down menus at the top of the New Note form allow you to search for the Prospect, Organization, or Deal you want to associate the note with. Use the Task menu to select what type of Task you would like to add. You can use the text editor to provide more details for the task.

You can schedule the Task for the future and press the Save button. If you're adding a Task you already completed, you can use the Complete button instead. The Task will appear in the Prospect, Organization, or Deal's Timeline.

To complete or edit a scheduled Task, navigate to the Prospect, Organization, or Deal's profile page and click on the Task in the Timeline. The Task editor will reappear, and you adjust any fields and click Save or Complete.
