While this jack-of-all-trades approach can help get a new business off the ground, it may ultimately lead to burnout. The business owner may also find they\u2019re so busy with day-to-day tasks that they don\u2019t have time to plan for the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why learning to delegate tasks is crucial for small business owners. But effective delegation involves more than just chopping up your to-do list and handing a section to each employee. Instead, you need to ensure there are systems in place that allow staff to complete tasks successfully. This is where a customizable, QuickBooks-integrated CRM like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/\">Method<\/a> CRM comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-can-a-customizable-quickbooks-crm-help-with-delegating-tasks\">How can a customizable QuickBooks CRM help with delegating tasks?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may seem counterproductive to spend time setting up new software when you need to take tasks off your plate. However, investing this time upfront will pay off tremendously in the long run. There are two key features of Method CRM that help small business owners with delegating tasks: the QuickBooks integration and the customizable platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-delegation-of-quickbooks-related-tasks\">Delegation of QuickBooks-related tasks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Method\u2019s deep, two-way sync with QuickBooks streamlines operations by letting users complete sales-related tasks right in the CRM \u2014 no direct access to QuickBooks required. These tasks can include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/crm-quickbooks\/customer-management-software\/\">managing customer information<\/a>, creating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/features\/estimates\/\">estimates<\/a> and invoices, processing payments, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1011\" height=\"455\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ContactsScreen-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5419 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ContactsScreen-1.png 1011w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ContactsScreen-1-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ContactsScreen-1-768x346.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1011px) 100vw, 1011px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1011px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1011\/455;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Better yet \u2014 all customers and transactions created in Method sync automatically to QuickBooks, and vice versa. It\u2019s the perfect solution for business owners who are sick of entering data into QuickBooks themselves, but don\u2019t want to give staff free rein in the company QuickBooks file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By delegating day-to-day tasks related to the sales process, you empower your whole team to do their jobs more effectively. You can focus on growing your business instead of merely running it, while your employees can assist customers faster and close sales sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PaymentCustomer-1-1024x686.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5789 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PaymentCustomer-1-1024x686.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PaymentCustomer-1-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PaymentCustomer-1-768x514.png 768w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PaymentCustomer-1.png 1044w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/686;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-delegation-of-complex-processes\">Delegation of complex processes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you believe in the saying, \u201cIf you want something done right, do it yourself\u201d? For business owners who have built their processes from scratch, the idea of delegating tasks to employees can be nerve-wracking. Perhaps you\u2019re worried the processes are too complex, or your employees don\u2019t have enough context to take them on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Herein lies the power of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/crm-quickbooks\/custom-crm-software\/\">customizable CRM<\/a>. Method\u2019s code-free, drag-and-drop interface lets you build a system that\u2019s tailored to your business\u2019s needs. By automating key workflows within the CRM, you\u2019ll set your team up to complete tasks correctly and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"448\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Customization_Personalized-grey.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-656 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 450px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 450\/448;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider the example of guitar string manufacturer Dean Markley. Prior to using Method, the chaotic, multi-person sales process was causing orders to fall through the cracks. Now, entering data in a custom order screen automatically triggers pricing approvals, invoice generation, and factory notifications. Who doesn\u2019t love faster, more consistent operations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/\">Method<\/a> customization also streamlined processes for the ad agency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/customer-success\/digital-signage-resolutions\/\">Digital Signage Resolutions<\/a>. When an estimate is approved, one click of a button automatically creates purchase orders for all designers and vendors. The time saved on double data entry is invaluable. Says CEO Laura Gray, \u201cI\u2019m focused on building the business instead of chasing my tail all day getting purchase orders in place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By building workflow logic into your CRM, you can feel confident delegating daily tasks to your team, leaving you free to focus on higher-level plans for the business. And as your business grows and changes, your customizable CRM can grow and change alongside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"436\" height=\"438\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Customization_biz-grey.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5937 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 436px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 436\/438;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, most small business owners will reach a point where they can no longer do it all. If you\u2019re at that point, adopting a customizable QuickBooks CRM may be the push you need to start delegating tasks.
