In the dynamic world of event planning, collaboration with clients is key. Timeline Genius introduces a feature that fosters this collaboration seamlessly—the Client Input feature. This tool allows your clients to input crucial details for their event, ensuring accuracy and saving you valuable time. Here’s how you can use this feature effectively.
Engaging Clients with the Input Feature
Setting Up: After entering the bride's name and a timeline name, navigate to the 'Client Input' option.
Invite Other Key Players: You can send this form to other involved parties like the groom or a parent by simply adding their names.
Sending the Invite: Click 'Send Invite', and the form will be directly sent to the client to fill out.
What Your Clients Can Do
Filling Out Forms: Clients can complete the forms with the necessary information for their event.
Vendor Suggestions: As they type in names, if you’ve previously worked with a suggested vendor, their details will pop up, making the process even smoother.
Maintaining Privacy and Control
Restricted Access: Clients do not have access to your Rolodex. They cannot alter or view your list of vendors.
Timeline Generation: Clients can’t generate timelines themselves. Once they submit their form, you’ll receive a notification. Review the information, and then decide when to generate the timeline.
Why Utilize Client Input?
Efficiency: Reduces back-and-forth communication and potential for misunderstanding or miscommunication.
Accuracy: Clients provide information directly, reducing the risk of errors.
Client Engagement: Involves clients in the planning process, making them feel more connected and invested in their event.
Conclusion
The Client Input feature in Timeline Genius is an innovative way to involve clients in the planning process while maintaining your role as the planner in control. It’s a win-win: clients feel heard and involved, and you get accurate, client-verified information.
