To start the digitization process of any consultancy, we propose three specific points: to have all the information in digital format, to have real connectivity tools and to prioritize automation.

According to recent studies, the level of digitalization of Spaniards is increasing and digital natives are beginning to be part of your customer base. Consult their finances, perform banking transactions… Why not allow them to have any information related to their business or professional activity at their fingertips on their computer or smartphone?

Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive can be very good tools to start with.

Maximum internal connectivity

Getting the office’s internal team to have maximum connectivity can make all the difference. As we have already said, you could improve organization and task control.

Having the information always at hand, knowing what tasks they have assigned for each day and the urgency… Although there are numerous team and task management softwares, some widely used ones are usually Trello, Hubspot and Zoho CRM.

Automation

Automatic answers to certain questions, alerts according to certain dates, alerts if documentation is missing… Customers would continue to receive the same service while you would have more time to deal with other tasks.

Depending on which tasks you want to automate, you can use different tools. Among the most useful, depending on the need, we can highlight:

There are many consultancies that offer insurance to their clients. With this insurance software you will not have to worry about giving them prices, managing the contracting, providing information on coverage and exclusions… The tool will help you increase profits, incorporating a new line of income that will not take time away from other tasks.

WhatsApp Business

Like most businesses, you will receive a series of recurring messages. Frequently asked questions, messages outside of business hours… You can configure the application so that, depending on which messages, your WhatsApp responds for you automatically.

We can conclude that the secret to digitize and grow an office, is to achieve a balance between client-advisor comfort with the tools and a correct automation that leaves no need uncovered.
