Sales (CRM) guide
From customer to cash: accounts, deals, quotes, contracts, invoices and recurring billing — right next to your inbox.
Open Business in the left rail. The tab bar has three groups: Customers (Accounts, Customer chat, Warranty), Sales (Deals, Quotes, Contracts) and Money (Invoices, Recurring, Incoming, Purchases). The small number on a tab is what's waiting: open deals, unpaid invoices, contracts about to expire, plans due.
1Who sees Business
Every employee has a Business access level set by an admin.
- Admin: Manage → People → open the person → Business access: No access, Only their own customers or Full access.
- No access hides Business from the rail; opening a link directly shows a no-access notice.
- Only their own customers sees only the customers they own and those customers' deals and documents. Admins always have full access.
2Accounts: add, import, find customers
The customer is the hub: contacts, deals, quotes, invoices and tasks all hang off one customer.
- Business → Customers → Accounts → Add customer. Fill in the name, type (Company / Individual), tax code (it looks up name and address for you), phone, address → Create.
- Have a list in Excel or your phone contacts? Import from file → choose a CSV exported from Excel, or a .vcf → review which rows are NEW and which exist → import.
- Search by name, phone, tax code or email. Open a customer to edit (Save) or delete it.
Customer names must be unique — if it says the name already exists, find the existing customer instead.
3Contacts (people at a customer)
- In Accounts switch the view to By person.
- Add contact: name, email, phone, company, note → save.
- Open a contact to Compose email right away, or quickly create a deal, task or invoice for them. Sync from Google/Outlook pulls in your old address book.
4Deals: your sales pipeline
A drag-and-drop board by stage: Lead → Qualified → Proposal → Won / Lost.
- Business → Sales → Deals → Add deal. Enter a name, pick the customer (and contact), value, stage, expected close date → Save.
- Move a deal by dragging its card to another column (or select it and use the left/right arrow keys).
- Open a deal to see its journey Deal → Quote → Close → Invoice → Paid, with Create quote, Create contract, Create invoice — documents created here carry the customer and value.
- Rename or add pipeline stages in Pipeline settings.
A deal needs a customer — create it in Accounts first.
5Quotes: create, send, customer signs online
- Sales → Quotes → Create quote (or from a deal). Pick the customer, valid-until date, add line items (name, qty, unit price, discount %, tax — + Add item); the total calculates itself → Save. Attach files with + Add file (up to 25 MB).
- Send: Send drafts an email with the PDF and a link where the customer views and signs; or Copy signing link to send it another way. Sent it yourself? Mark sent. Download the PDF from the edit dialog.
- When the customer signs online the quote shows who signed. You can also set it with Accept / Decline / Reopen.
- Accepted quote: Convert to invoice — the new invoice copies every line.
The customer needs an email address in Accounts for Send to email it.
6Contracts and amendments
- Sales → Contracts → Create contract (or from a deal). Enter title, customer, value, signing date, start, end → Create.
- Status: Activate when it takes effect, then Complete or Cancel; Reopen if clicked by mistake.
- Changes in value: + Add amendment (title, value ±, signing date).
The small number on Contracts counts contracts about to expire — open them to renew in time.
7Invoices with a QR bank-transfer code
- Once: add your bank account under Settings → payment account so invoices carry a VietQR code.
- Money → Invoices → Create invoice: pick the customer, add lines or enter the amount, due date → Save. (Or Convert to invoice from a quote, Create invoice from a deal.)
- Hover an invoice row: Send (email with PDF and QR), Mark sent, Mark paid when the money arrives, Void if it was wrong.
- Filter Unpaid, Overdue, Paid, Draft. To void a paid invoice, open it → void paid invoice.
These are internal sales invoices for tracking receivables; they do not replace the e-invoice filed with the tax authority.
8Reminding customers to pay
- A sent, unpaid invoice has Remind: send an email reminder (customer needs an email), copy a ready-made message to paste into a chat app, or send the QR transfer code.
- Edit the reminder wording under Edit reminder template….
- Reminders for subscription plans: see Recurring billing.
9Recurring billing (monthly/quarterly/yearly customers)
- Money → Recurring → Add plan: plan name, customer, price per period, cycle (Month/Quarter/Year), paid-until date, remind-before days, owner, optional transfer code → Create plan.
- When the customer pays: Record → amount, number of periods, method → confirm — the paid-until date moves forward.
- Plans due soon or overdue: Remind (email or copied message), snooze 3 or 7 days; stop with Stop billing. Export CSV for your accountant.
Set a transfer code and ask the customer to put it in the transfer note — with Incoming connected, the payment is suggested against the right plan.
10Incoming: invoices mark themselves paid
Connect your company's Sepay or Casso account so bank transfers match invoices automatically.
- Money → Incoming → Connect account: choose the provider, enter the account number to watch (the same account printed on invoice QR codes).
- VNe shows a webhook URL and a secret key — the key is shown ONCE: copy it, confirm you saved it, and paste both into your Sepay/Casso dashboard.
- Recent incoming transactions shows Matched / Unmatched / Wrong account. For an unmatched one: Assign to invoice → search invoice number or customer → assign.
Reconnecting invalidates the old URL and key — update them in Sepay/Casso.
11Purchase invoices (supplier bills)
- Money → Purchases → Add purchase invoice: supplier, tax code, date, series, number, amount → Save.
- Faster: open the supplier's e-invoice email in your inbox and click Save to purchases.
- Actions menu: mark paid, back to unpaid, void, edit, open file.
Purchase invoices never count as revenue. Adding a duplicate tells you it is already in the book.
12Warranty lookup while the customer is on the phone
- Customers → Warranty, type the customer's phone, serial or item name → Look up: in warranty / expired / no warranty.
- Taking an item in: Open claim creates a BH: … task in Tasks.
- Items sold outside the system: Add sold item (item, purchase date, warranty months, customer name, phone, serial). Expiring soon lists items ending in the next 30 days.
For lookups to work, invoice/quote lines need Warranty (months) and Serial filled in.
13Tasks
- More → Tasks. Type a task → Add; set a due date and time, assign it to someone.
- Filter Mine / Assigned by me / All; tasks group into Overdue, Today, Upcoming.
- Tasks tied to a customer have call, email, create-quote and add-to-calendar buttons; Ask the assistant hands the task to the AI.
Connect your company's chat channels so the team answers customers together: AI agents & Customer chat. Staff and permissions: the Admin guide.
