Audrey Penninckx<\/a>, an inbound marketing consultant and COO of Surfkin Media, needed a system to help her eliminate tasks that she kept putting off because of how time-consuming they are to do.<\/p>\n Can you relate? \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n She knew that there had to be a better way to reduce repetitive, manual\u00a0work in the workflow process and<\/em> run an online business without going crazy.<\/p>\n That\u2019s when she discovered workflow automation<\/a>, and it forever changed her life. Now she works tirelessly to help her clients get excited about automation and set them up for long-term success. <\/p>\n Read on to learn how Audrey uses ClickUp<\/a> automation to streamline her workflow and guide other female coaches on how to create a seamless workflow that works for their business<\/p>\n Let\u2019s get started!<\/em><\/p>\n I support female entrepreneurs by automating their back-end processes to focus more on what truly matters in their business.<\/p>\n I help them eliminate manual and time-consuming tasks that need to get done to close the sale and scale their business by hiring the right team member, not people who will do that manual tasks that can be automated.<\/p>\n If I had to choose, I would say that my favorite ClickUp feature is automation<\/a>! <\/p>\n A few months ago, I developed a client onboarding automation system<\/a> for my business, and it\u2019s probably one of my favorite systems because of how easy and helpful it is! My clients love it, too! <\/p>\n Automating my onboarding client process<\/a> has been a game-changer to start taking more clients, enjoying the process more than repeating manual and nonsense tasks.<\/p>\n Think of automation like a car\u2019s cruise control feature. When you set your workflow automation, you won\u2019t need to exert extra energy. You\u2019d be cruising through mundane and repetitive tasks without thinking about it.<\/p>\n I\u2019m willing to automate pretty much everything!<\/p>\n I use integrations when auto-populating a client\u2019s folder into ClickUp when a client signs a contract on Dubsado.<\/p>\n I would create a project mapped into Dubsado<\/a>, connect Dubsado and ClickUp in Zapier<\/a>, then create a filter with the project mapped field. And that\u2019s it. All the new client folders are automatically created in ClickUp.<\/p>\n Check out these Dubsado alternatives and competitors<\/a>! <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n I share my project with clients<\/a> to keep track of everything during our time working together. <\/p>\n Visibility, transparency, and a sense of urgency are key to building rapport with clients. Including clients in the process helps build trust and move things forward faster; ClickUp\u2019s task sharing makes this effortlessly possible.<\/p>\n I save about 7 hours a week using ClickUp, and I use this extra time doing more money-making tasks like showing up on social media, content creation, client\u2019s work. \ud83d\udc69\ud83c\udffb\u200d\ud83d\udcbb\u2728<\/p>\n Everything is organized<\/a>, in one place. I can\u2019t live without it. <\/p>\n Not only does it help improve the quality of work and increase productivity, but it also helps reduce stress levels because everything is exactly<\/em> where it needs to be.<\/p>\n I would say that a project management tool<\/a> is KEY<\/em> to get productive and get more freedom back. <\/p>\n Project management tools like ClickUp help keep track of everything in real-time and reduce the amount of manual work through automation. Automating eliminates pain points, saves time, and, best of all, opens up time to work on the more exciting parts of the business! \ud83d\ude80<\/p>\n Looking to follow along on Audrey\u2019s journey?
