Search and sort records
Search records
A typical day in the life of a sales rep involves checking and replying to emails, making calls, following up with leads, and helping customers find what they want. They must also keep a record of all relevant information about each customer and the sales they make. It could be tedious and time consuming for sales reps to look for each record in their Bigin account to update these details right away. And they may miss some details if they leave the updates to make later.
With Bigin's powerful search feature, sales reps can preview records instantly, update fields and even send emails right from the search bar!
The search function pulls the required record in seconds and the reps can make changes instantly, avoiding the extra work of going to the relevant module and looking for the record among hundreds of other records.
Simply search for a record with the record name or any other detail. The search bar lets you perform the following actions from the search results.
