You still decide priorities, quote properly, and handle the tricky customers.

When job details are captured properly up front, you spend less time chasing missing information later. When confirmations and reminders go out automatically, you spend less time doing \u201cfollow-up admin\u201d that doesn\u2019t earn you a cent.
