It seems like RainmakerReputation AI CRM really does
offer a comprehensive suite oftools for local businesses, but

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Think of pipelines as visual maps of your customer's
journey.
Rainmaker Reputation AI CRMallows you to create custom
pipelines for different productsor services, so you can tailor
each stage to match your uniquesales process.
Let's stick with the floristexample.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Okay, so let's say I want to create a pipeline
specifically for wedding floralconsultations.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
You could create a pipeline with stages like
initial inquiry, consultation,scheduled proposal sent,
contract signed and wedding day.
At each stage you can set upautomated actions.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
So when someone books consultation, they might
automatically receive an emailwith testimonials from happy

Speaker 3 (10:52):
You've got it.
This personalized and automatedapproach guides potential

And because everything's automated, I'm
saving time and mental energy,even while I'm busy designing
arrangements or meeting withother clients.
But you mentioned earlier thatpipelines can also help
prioritize leads.
How does that work?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Within Rainmaker Reputation, aicrm, you can
assign points to differentactions a lead takes.
Let's say someone downloads afree wedding planning checklist
from your website, they get fivepoints.
If they then book aconsultation, that's 10 points.
The more engaged a lead is, thehigher their score.
Speaker 2 (11:32):

toolkit for local businesses.
But before we wrap things up,let's step back for a moment.
While having all these featuresin one platform sounds
incredibly convenient, are thereany potential drawbacks to
consider?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
That's a great question and it's important to
weigh the pros and cons beforediving headfirst into any
