New “My Business” Top Menu Dropdown!
The new My Business section holds a ton of new features for Agencies and Call Centers alike. You can now assign “My” abilities to agents to allow them to have access to admin-like sections of the CRM that are specifically pre filtered just for them. This is for companies that want to give their agents a little more control over their leads, policies and data, as it will allow them to list and search just like admins, albeit limited to only their pool of data. If you want them to have access to the full leads or policies section just give them the “View” abilities (View Leads, View Policies) or give them a higher role!
- My Dashboard
- This is simply a quick link to the home page / dashboard
- My Leads
- Shows leads that where created by or converted by the user.
- My Customers
- Shows policies that where created by, converted by, or the agent of record is set to the user.
- My Callbacks
- Shows callbacks created by the user.
- User can Trash or Complete Callbacks by clicking the X or the Checkmark.
- My Appointments
- Shows appointments created by or scheduled to the user.
- My Calendar
- Shows a mix of appointments and callbacks for the user
- * We may expand this to also show conversion information in the future for leads and policies if there is enough feedback.
- My CSR’s
- Shows CSR Requests assigned to the specified user.
New Abilities
Appointments, Callbacks and Calendar do not require a user to have special permissions because there is intent for the agent to take action and manage this data.
- My Leads
- My Customers
- My CSR’s
- View Callbacks
- View Appointments
- View Calendar
- Export Callbacks
- Export Appointments
Callbacks
- Callbacks has had a “Description” added to it so you will know a little more as to what the callback is for. This is not considered a note and is on the callback only.

- Callbacks can now be toggled as “Completed” or “Trashed”
- Callbacks can now be Mass Reassigned
- Trashed Callbacks can be Untrashed
- Untrashed callbacks still count toward your maximum callbacks.

- Callbacks can now be Rescheduled / Edited!
- A reschedule Counter will be visible in the Callbacks and My Callbacks section.
- Rescheduled callbacks still count toward your maximum callbacks.
Events
The events section lets you put a calendar of events together so agents can choose to RSVP a lead by setting a RSVP Appointment! Events can be found under “Settings” in the left sidebar menu.
- Events have their own locations, when an appointment is tied to an event, the event data is copied automatically to the appointment
- When an Event is updated it automatically updates all appointments for the event.
- Viewing an Event will show a Google Map of the location selected.
- Viewing an Event will show an “Add to Calendar” link which allows you to add it to any of your third party calendars such as Gmail and Outlook.
- *Still Under Development
- Send Email and Send Relay are currently under Development
- This will send an email when an attendee is Registered for an event, but not when an appointment is edited. This only works for new events.
- An option will be added later to send an Update Email to all Attendees if something changes
- The email sent will be based on a standard template OR a chosen template on the event.
- The add to calendar link will also be provided in emails later.

- There will also be a Non Public Roster for admins to check off who showed up and who didn’t.

- Appointments and RSVP’s you create will show under your My Appointments and My Calendar tab, wether you are the assigned agent or not. The user assigned will still be in the details.
- If you are booking Appointments for Agents that do not exist in your system, or aren’t users of TLDCRM, we suggest to make them non-role accounts and set them to inactive-visible so you can select them and run reports later.
- *Still Under Development
- Email Notifications for the Agent receiving the Appointment with Map and Add to Calendar Link.
Calendar

- This options can be turned on under Settings -> Options -> Dialer -> Window Close Prompt

- Appointments will “Convert” the lead, but not convert any policies. An In house or In Office appointment shows intent to purchase, which is why it is a conversion
