CRM Questions for Freelancers
Can I track proposals and projects in one place?
Yes, use the deal pipeline to track opportunities from initial enquiry through proposal to active project. See at a glance what needs attention and what's in progress.
How do I manage multiple clients at once?
Each client has their own record with full history, notes, and communication. Filter and search to find what you need quickly, even when juggling many projects.
Can I see where my best clients come from?
Lead attribution tracks how clients find you. Know whether they came from your website, LinkedIn, referrals, or other channels, so you can focus on what works.
How do other freelancers use Kabooly?
Freelancers typically use Kabooly to track leads and proposals, store client details and project notes, follow up on quotes, and stay organised across multiple clients.
Is it quick to use between billable work?
Kabooly is designed to be simple. Most freelancers are comfortable with the basics within an hour. It saves time rather than creating more admin.
Can clients book time with me directly?
Yes, share your booking link for discovery calls or project meetings. Set your availability and let clients schedule without the back-and-forth of emails.
How do I remember details about each client?
Add notes to client records after every interaction. Store preferences, project history, and important details. Everything is searchable and accessible.
Can I send professional emails to past clients?
Create email templates for common communications, or build marketing lists to reach out to past clients about new services or availability.
How a freelance business runs in Kabooly
Not a feature list. This is the setup most freelancers end up with.
Pipeline stages that match a freelance month
Stages are yours to define. Most freelancers land on Enquiry, Call Booked, Proposal Sent, Won, Lost, and Delivered. The deals report turns the vague feeling that things are quiet into an actual number you can act on three weeks earlier.
Every past client in one place, not five inboxes
Contacts carry tags and custom fields, so you can tag clients by service, sector and how they found you, and pull a list of everyone you worked with last year without digging through old email threads.
One enquiry form instead of six inboxes
Build the form, embed it on your site and link it from your profiles. Submissions create contacts and can start an automation, so work enquiries stop arriving in three different apps and getting answered in none of them.
Intro calls booked around your deep work
Set up a booking type for an intro call, restrict availability to the afternoons you are willing to lose, and publish the booking widget. Kabooly sends the reminder email before the call automatically.
Knowing where the good work comes from
UTM parameters are captured on form submissions, and the tracking and attribution reports show what actually produced enquiries. Most freelancers discover the effort they enjoy least is not the effort that pays.
A quiet month you can do something about
Marketing lists, email templates and campaigns are built in, so the note to past clients about availability next month goes out properly, from your own sending domain, with unsubscribe handled.
Three automations worth building in your first week
Each of these is a trigger, an optional wait, and an action. Nothing to code.
-
The enquiry that gets a reply mid project
When a form is submitted, send an email covering your usual lead time, roughly how you price, and a link to book a call, and create a task to follow up. Head down on a deadline is exactly when enquiries go stale.
-
The proposal that went quiet
When a deal moves to your Proposal Sent stage, wait four days, then send a short, unembarrassed nudge. Freelancers lose more work to their own reluctance to chase than to price.
-
The client who has not been back
When a deal is marked lost, wait three months, then send a brief email. Budgets get refused in March and approved in June, and nobody tells you when that happens.
