Transcripts

1. Intro to indema.co: Hey designers, Welcome, Welcome back. It's been awhile. So in this course is going to show you an amazing tool called edema. It's going to show you how to set up everything that you need to set up in order to become successful in managing your projects within Dima and also your business. There's a ton and ton of features in edema and I wanted to share this with you and show you exactly how this tool can help you grow with your design firm. Now, obviously there's a lot of tools out there that can help you grow. And more so than not, there's some that are very, very niche in the industry that we work in. So it's really important, first and foremost to make sure that you hone in on your exact process for your design. So that way you know all of the checkmarks that you can check off when searching for the right tool. And even more so, it's really, really important to understand what exactly it is that you need and what it is that you don't need in order to make this successful as a designer. So without further ado, go to the next lesson, not next lesson, but it's the first lesson which we're going to take you through setting up a project template. And of course we'll go through all of these steps to help you become successful at managing your projects. 2. LESSON ONE: Project Templates: Hello, welcome to lesson number one. So this is edema and welcome to your new project and business management platform for, of course, you're under design firm. So the first thing we're gonna do is set up a project template. Now of course I did some stuff before jumping on the camera. But I'm going to basically show you where to go, what to do and how to add certain things to a project template. So what exactly is a project template? A project template and the simplest terms is a way for you to automatically import some basic detail about a project. Milestones, aka phases, and of course, tasks in any project. Now why is this important? It's because if you were to add all of these individually, let's say for example, you had 30 tasks that you do for every project, any project that you do as a designer, then it's going to take you quite a bit to add all those tasks for every single brand new project you do. So edema allows you to add these tasks are relatively easy, so that way, every brand new project you create this system can be done from the template and has all of that information in there for you. So I'm going to add one more thing too, this project template, because I totally forgot actually need to source a foe treat for my client. We're going to head over to the work section and projects. Now, I bet you're wondering, well, can edema be branded to my design? Affirming the answer is yes, absolutely. The logo up here is just the standard logo that comes with your 15 day trial comes with your account. And of course, you could change anything in this system to be branded to your design firm on project templates, which I'm going to click up here. I'm going to see a project template that I've already created. It's going to be called living rooms design. And in here I'm going to click on the View project details for this project template. And as you see, I've already added my description. I've added some tasks in here for everything that I need to source for this particular living room. But I defer get a full tree. So let's add that task here. I'm going to click on Add task. And let's say we're going to use source fo tree if I could spell today. And there it is. So we're going to need to source a foe tree for the West corner off the living room. And I'm going to assign it to myself. Now of course, you can assign it to other employees if you have another designer that works with you or let's say a junior designer that works with you. And you can totally assigned tasks to them and delegate that. And I'm going to click on Save. Now from there you can see all of those tasks here that I have. Sourcing of a sofa, coffee table area, rug, side floor lamp, accessories for the coffee table, side chair. And it can be fabric, some art pieces and then of course, the poetry that I added here. Excellent. So now our next lesson is going to be creating our first client and then of course, creating a project from this exact template. And then we're going to jump in and show you exactly how that looks on the project side. Off to lesson number two. 3. LESSON TWO: Creating A Project: What's up, designer, welcome to lesson number two, where I'm going to show you how to add a client and also to create the project from the template that we created in the last lesson. So what we're gonna do is head over to the work section and projects. Actually, I apologize, contact session. And then clients because we want to add a client now, keep in mind you don't actually have to add the client first in the system. You can totally start with the project. But my personal process is to always add the client first just because I sometimes forget about that. And there could be some ramifications down the road if you don't attach the client to the project. So just my own personal process. I like to add the client first, but you totally don't have to do that. You could totally add the project first and then you can add the client during the project creation phase, which I'll show you as well. So on here, let's click on Create new client and there's a lot of information here that I can include. So first of all, let's do the Klein names. Let's say this client name is called Gabby and Gabby's email is Gabby at edema.co. I hope there's no employee name of that company details. We don't have to worry about that phone number. Let's say Gabby, it's phone number is 9095550123. Shipping address 123 and edema Shri. That's gonna be in Los Angeles, CA 90034. Add that. Now, tax can be really anything. Let's say this is a VIP client or let's say this is a client where they get 15% discount on discounts that will do on all of the products will be source or whatever kind of underlying tags you want to add to the client. So it's easier on the client side to be able to pinpoint them when you're looking through your clients. Then lastly at the bottom here, send credentials. Now, what is that? Suddenly credentials allows you to send automatic e-mail to your client, exact client that you're setting up through this e-mail with their login information into their portal. Now this is default set to no. And so his e-mail notifications just in case you don't want to send that just yet. You don't have to. You could totally change this later down the road. Once you click Save, your client is created pretty easy right? Now, let's create the project. So what I'm gonna do is head over to the work section and click on projects. From here. Remember before we clicked on project templates, this time we're going to add a new project. So from here, we're going to see at the top right-hand corner that you see the templates. And remember we created the one that said living room design. So I'm going to quickly click on that one here. And you can pretty much change anything you want on this template. So now we'll try a template that's sort of like this in the project now. So I usually named my projects on the road they're based off of, but I'm going to name this one Gabby because that's my client's product category start date. Let's say the start date is tomorrow. There's no anticipated deadline, and I'm going to add project members which are employees or of course yourself to the project. From here, you can change the summary, add any additional stuff. Now, this is also a good opportunity where you can create a custom checklist. Let's say you've already sourced the sofa, the side floor lamp, you already know all this, but you still need to source the phone tree, which of course you could do that with the TAT tasks to. Then of course you can add your clients. So let's say this client is Gabby. So I'm going to type in GAVI there. And project budget, let's say this budget $50 thousand. It's pretty, pretty good budget for living room. I would say currency, of course the United States dollar. And now in Dima, if you didn't know, is that global platform So you can add any currency in the world. The best part is that each project can also be a different currency. And you can also build a client in their respective currency two. So it's the most unique thing about MDMA is the fact that you can also be an international designer and use the same platform. You don't have to look for a whole nother platform and everything else in here. I'm just going to keep length because it's not really relevant for this particular project. But of course you can add whatever is relevant to the project. Once you click save at the bottom, it's going to save the project details. And that leads us to going to lesson number three where we're going to send the client a contract off to the next lesson. 4. LESSON THREE: Contracts: Hey guys, welcome to lesson number three and we're going to talk about how to create a contract ends that edema. And I hope you're getting excited because we're getting to the sourcing very soon. So where to get contracts? What we're gonna do is head over to the work tab. And under contracts. Now from here, you can actually create a contract templates. Now, contract templates like if you have a contract for kitchen design versus living room design versus the standard design contract versus an InDesign contract. All of those different types of contracts, you can certainly create a template for it. Then you also have quick variables which allow you to add certain components inside the contract templates so that the system autogenic the client's information from those variables. And I'm going to show you exactly how that's done. So let's create a new contact by clicking on Create contract here. Next we're going to add all the information. So a client. First, let's add Gabby, because that's the client that we just created. Subject is going to be living room, contract or agreement or whatever you'd like to call it amount, $50 thousand because that's the amount of the project budget. And we're going to do scope of work. Contract. Start date is going to be tomorrow. And contract type is the contract template that I'm going to choose, which this one I'm gonna do mean agreement. And you don't have to do notes or anything like that. But then I'm going to click on save. From there, the system is going to bring me directly to the contract. And this is where you can then see all of the relevant information. This is the contract from the contract template. And then these are those quick variables. So as an example client name, you can copy and paste that. Now this is from the contract template. So this is already going to be there for you, which is great because then you don't have to copy paste, copy paste, copy paste. From there. I want to scroll down and make sure all of this information is correct, which I already did it. So it should be correct. Once you review the contract and you can go down here and select, Update, move that little bar down there. And once that's done, it sent off to my client for signature. So now I'm going to show you exactly what that looks like here. Give me one sec. Let me make sure this is the most recent date. May 17th, 2022. Excellent. Because obviously as a designer, you need to execute the contract yourself too. So if you click on View under the quick action item, this is almost identical to exactly how the client can see it with your logo. Of course, this is those quick variables there, Gabby located and I put the address, but I didn't put an address in there for Gabby other shipping address rather, at that point, I, as a designer, can go up here and click Sign. And I can enter my first name, my last name, my e-mail. And then I can use mice, mouse or trackpad to physically sign this and then execute the contract. And that's, that's all. That's all you have to do. Then the client will be able to login to the client portal and there'll be able to do the same exact thing and physically sign in that executes the contract. And the great part is you can download that contract PDF and you have those signatures right on there for you. The next lesson we're going to talk about tracking time for a project and also directly correlating into sourcing that full tree that we need to source for this project. Off to the next lesson. 5. LESSON FOUR: Sourcing Furniture: Hello, hello. Welcome to lesson number four. So now that you've gotten your contract out to your client, they've signed it, they submitted the retainer, you've gotten paid. It's a great day. You go drink a mimosa. Now we're going to source a product. Before we go and source for a product, you have to install the web clipper. And now the web clipper, super easy to install. And guys, it is a browser clippers you can use any browser you want it super, super easy to install. So what we're gonna do is click on the product section over here on the left-hand side. And you'll see the edema Web Clipper from here. Now, what you're gonna do is click and hold that click and then drag that all the way up to the bookmarks bar where you can then install it. It's as simple as that because it's already installed. From there. You are free to use it. So where do we go from here? I'm going to actually head back over to projects. And I'm gonna go right into the Gabby project that we created earlier. And I'm gonna go over and click on the Products section here. Now, I really want this photo tree because we really need to source this phone tree. But before we actually do that, I'm going to head over to my tasks. Now, remember you created the project from the tasks here. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to show you how to automatically track your time while you're sourcing for this flow trait. Now, the other thing you could do here is now I've already sourced the sofa, I've already source the coffee table, the area rug, the side floor lamp, the accessories with the coffee table sides here, RPs and now I just have the full tree. So what we're actually going to do here is I'm going to track my time automatically for that, which is literally done in the click of a button. This little play icon right there is a way for me to actually track my time automatically in the system. And I can also click on the Task and I can manage pretty much everything else on the tasks that I need to manage, down to the description. I can write comments or private nodes. I can also tags to this. I can create a start date. I can change the order. I could do quite a lot on those tasks. So while that's running, I'm going to go ahead and source that photo tray. So I've already installed my web clipper and I'm gonna go right over to Crate and Barrel and source this beautiful seven foot fo tree. It's a foe olive tree. And I'm going to click that Add to edema button, which I did already. And it's going to automatically populate some of the information for me. Now I can see for tree, Crate and Barrel, I can now select the project that I want this to go to. I can also select the type of materials that's gonna be other. I'm going to change this because I already sourced it. Product number. Now you can click on this little target icon and click texts that you want to import and you'll see it populate there. This is going to be $399 with a twenty-five percent markup quantity. I want one of those client-facing description. I can then click on that target icon and click on the text here. Vendor description is a description that only shows up on purchase orders. So if you want to add additional information relevant to the vendor, you can do that. So this is going to be Crate and Barrel as a manufacturer tree. I don't know the material unless you want to copy and paste it here. Seven foot diameter and finished color is multi. And then I'm going to click on Save. And that is going to save right to my project. Where I can then go click on the products tab and I can see that photo tray here. Now keep in mind too. You can edit everything else in here in this table. So let's say I know the estimated shift day is gonna be the 25th. 25th. And then let's say the estimate installed date is actually going to be on the 1st of June, and I can keep track of all that stuff. Next lesson, I'm going to show you how to then do a vision board using all these materials that we've already source of this project. So onto lesson number five. 6. LESSON FIVE: Creating A Visionboard: Welcome to lesson number five, where I'm going to show you that photo tree that we sourced and we're going to put it in the vision board that I hadn't really started for this project. So what you're going to do is you're going to head over to the vision board on the left-hand side. And I'm going to show you in Dima state of the art background remover guys. I'm flabbergasted about this because this background remover is like it's magic, literally magic. So here's my living room that I've sourced for this particular client. Very masculine, very modern. And I'm going to want to add that fo tree. So first and foremost, this edema tab up here is for all of the products that you've already sourced in your project section. But if you have something from your computer that you wanted to upload, that you didn't necessarily want a source. That's okay too. You can totally do that. I'm gonna go over to the edema tab here. And I'm actually going to adjust this a little bit because it kinda messed it up. So I want to move these a little bit to where the lamp is, a little bit behind there. And then this, I'm going to make it a little bit more forward. Excellent. Now, of course that poetry is missing, so let's get that photo tree on here after I make some more adjustments to the art here. Alright, so this filter option, I'm going to filter this by project. So I want to show all of the Gabby items because that's the project we're working in. And here you go. There's all the products from Gabby. I'm going to click first and then click and drag this on there. Now, clearly we can use this because it's got a background. So normally you'd probably use Photoshop, which would take you eons to actually remove the background. But what I'm gonna do is I'm going to click on this little icon here when the picture is selected. And before I could even finished my sentence, the background is removed. And guys, look at this, it, it gets all of those leaves pretty insane. Now, obviously from there I'm going to make it a little bit bigger. And then I'm going to push this to the back. Back, back. There we go. Perfect. Then I can adjust it as I see fit. So there we go. I like that. Move this chair a little bit over here and move that a little bit behind there. And I think I'm pretty done with my living room. I'm very happy with it. So what do we do now? We are actually going to go and download this as a PNG. And then I am going to go and get my client's approval for it. Here's the best part though, because all of these items are actually products that I've sourced for this project. I've done a lot of the dirty work already with the pricing, with making sure that it's all in within budget. I can also see my unit cost here. So all of these costs $9,750 based on what I've inputted into the system already. And I can, of course click on this and I can see additional breakdown of those items as well. There's a lot of other tools to like. You can set the height and width of the design board. You can also add a background, so like a title block or something to that as well. And if I were to click on that image there, there is my vision board that I can go ahead and send to my client for approval. It's super, super easy. The great thing too is you also have PNG options. So if you don't want the background to show on that vision board, oops, I clicked the wrong thing. You can click on Download and P and G. And now you've downloaded a PNG version without the white background for whatever reason, if you want to put it on a different color background or whatever have you. So heading over to the lesson Number six, and we're going to talk about adding all of these items to an estimate. And that's pretty easy too. We'll see you in the next lesson. 7. LESSON SIX: Creating A Estimate/Invoice: Hello, beautiful designers and welcome to lesson number six where I'm going to show you all of these items, how to add them to an estimate to get them over to your client. And there's an amazing automation that you will love and it will save you a ton of time. First of all, we're gonna go over to the finance. Now there's two different places you can actually do this under the finance tab or inside the product itself. But we're gonna go over to the finance tab over here. From there at the top of the page, I want to create an estimate here and I'm going to select the projects. So again, Gabby, because that's the project we're working on and it automatically selects a client for me. I could also add text, so living room, furniture. And I'll also show you the reason why adding tags is a really, really smart idea here, because you want to make sure that you can identify what estimate that's four and I'll show you exactly the reason why two. Now from here I can click on Add Products and I can even search. So I want all the products from project Gabby. And it's going to automatically load all of those projects or products, excuse me. From there, I want to select all the ones that I'm going to add for this particular invoice, and I'm going to click on that. It'll import all of those in there for me. And from here, I can reassure myself that all of the unit price markup is all situated. Then I can scroll all the way down after making sure all that's good. Of course, I need to add my California tax and I'm going to ask for 3% credit card processing. And I'm going to also ask for 50% down, down payment for these. So just making sure all of these align up. So sofa 3 thousand coffee table, good. I need two of these. Those are 69 each, where we look pretty solid for tree area rug. And I'm going to go and click and save and send that to my client for approval. Now the next thing I'm going to show you is completely mind-blowing because it's really important to get your clients to sign off on things right? Here's the Gabby estimate, right. But why don't we just created those are the tags living in furniture. Because if you see here Michelle Frederick's client, I can't tell what's in these estimates. So if I add a tag to it, living room furniture or dining room furniture, I know exactly what's in those estimates. Now. You're probably asking, okay, what do I do now? Your client portal will have the client be able to click on the estimate and they can see it exactly as you see it here. Your logo, of course, at the top, and your client has to approve or decline each of these items. So let's say they want to approve this one and approve that one. And approve this one. Let's say they approve all of them. Okay. From here, once you approve all of these, then your client can decline or accept the estimate as a whole. So let's say they accept it and it's the same thing as a contract. The client can physically sign this estimate right here, right there. And we'll also have that signature on a PDF download that you do from the estimate. So the second and this is the automation. The second the client signs that estimate. The system will actually create an unpaid invoice for you for all of the approved items. And it takes it even a step further by adding all of those items to also purchase orders and creating a purchase order for you so you don't have to go and do that from scratch as well. So now on here, because this converts to an unpaid invoice, your client can also pay that, so you're not having to chase your client for payment from there. Excellent. So now you've seen how to create an estimate and let's say your client physically signed off on that and the status is then accepted, then you'll be able to see that estimate completely be inside an invoice and then your client can pay that invoice. So next up, we're going to be showing you how to convert a invoice into a purchase order and managing the PO and then sending that purchase order over to your vendor for approval off to lesson number seven. 8. LESSON SEVEN: Creating A Purchase Order: Well, hello there, it's been awhile. Glad to see you on the lesson number seven. So we're going to take this invoice now I've already issued a payments, so let's say the client pay this invoice already, which brings me to the other component, which is how you can be able to pay, get paid, I should say, through MDMA, which is the Stripe integration. Dima integrates very seamlessly through Stripe and yes, they also support QuickBooks integration as well. So when you connect to your Stripe account, you can send this invoice over to your client. The client can pay through credit card or ACH draft. That way. Then once the client pays that information or the Piazza invoice during Edema, it indicates here as completely paid. Now we'll next part of this is converting this invoice over to a purchase order so I can send that over. Now, if you already have the vendor in the system for those items and an email attached to the vendor, then this will automatically create the PO4 you, so you shouldn't have to create it if all of that lines up correctly. But let's say for example, you want to create a PO from this. Now, keep in mind if you manually do this, the system isn't going to automatically adjust these for you. So that's something to know. But most of these, if not all, are going to be from the same vendor, so I don't have to worry about it too much. From here, I can click on the vendor. So let's say this is Crate and Barrel and all this information on the automated process will already generate for me. So let's say this is going to go to Timothy at Crate and Barrel.com. Hopefully there is no Timothy at Crate and Barrel. So to be safe, I'm going to just add a bunch of numbers at the end there. And my contact is my Rep name, which that should auto populate if you have that information, I don't have that information for Crate and Barrel, so that's why I'm adding it. Of course, adding your shipping address where it's gonna go to. Now let's say this is a receiving company. You can add your receiving I can't spell today. Receiving company and that's gonna be Los Angeles. And I'm going to fix that because it's bothering me. Ca 90, let's say for three. And from there, I just got to make sure all this information is correct now because it's going to the vendor itself. Of course, the unit price is what's going to show none of them mark-ups or anything like that. So then Gabby living room. I can also attach any additional files to this P0 and I can also attach freight. So let's say I already know the freight amount is going to be $250 and memo to be displayed, quote, approved. You can add the PO you can add the side mark, where the side mark actually would go in the shipping. So if you want to add the side marked with a shipping, you can totally do that. And then from there I can click on Save. And this information will populate inside of the purchase order page, where then I can go over to the quick action and I can send the PDF. And bada bing, bada, boom, well, the e-mail is not set, so it's not going to send. But anyway, with the e-mail is inside the vendor section, then you'll be able to send the PDF. You can also download a copy of the PDF and manually email it over to your vet, your rep, if you have it. And then of course you have custom order statuses. So once I sent this, I can click on send. So that way I'm knowing my team and myself know that this PO was already sent. Next lesson is going to be creating a time log invoice from the Time Log that I've created while tracking my time in the system off till lesson number eight. 9. LESSON EIGHT: Billing Your Client For Time: Crew. I've got my work cut out for me for this one. So I've done so much so far at this project. And now what I'm ready to do is I'm going to create a time log invoice to bill my clients. Now, of course, first and foremost, need to make sure that all of your time logs are done and it's pretty much off. I'm going to head over back to the project and make sure that all my timers are completely off because I remember I kept the one on that I had. So I'm going to click on the stop button here. And I want to make sure that that's completely stopped and it is. And then I'm gonna head over to time logs. Now, time logs are going to show me all of my time logs for every single project. But there you go. You see Gaby source the foe tree. It took me about four minutes and I made 12 bucks for four minutes. That's a pretty good deal. So what I'm gonna do is click on Create Invoice right up here. And I'm wanting to make sure I select the right projects or project Gabby. And by default, this selects today's date in a week prior. And there you go. Source fo tree and I can edit the description. So Bo tree for living room design, and I made 0.07 hours at $175 per hour. And then, great. I'm gonna go ahead and send that invoice right over to my client and they can pay that invoice right directly through in Deimos Stripe integration. And I just made an easy 12 bucks. But of course, if you have a lot of other time logs you want to send your client, you can send all of them at the same time. And you can also bulk the time logs into one individual line items. So that way your client doesn't see like 50 different time logs for like 50 different time entries that you did for their project. On the last and final lesson of the day that I'm going to show you is some other interesting things and features that edema has to offer and it's gonna be really fun to watch. So off to the last lesson here for the day and thanks so much for being with me. See you in the next one. 10. LAST LESSON: Conclusion: Hello and welcome to the final lesson, which is lesson number nine. Now, you've learned so much so far. You've learned how to create a project template to automatically import tasks and milestones to every single brand new project. Do you do you learned how to create a client and the project, and how to apply that template to that project. You also learn how to source the using the web clipper and make it really, really easy for you to do shoot. You even learned how to create an estimate which automatically converts to an invoice and the purchase order at the same exact time. So you don't have to spend the time to do it. And you also learned about our brilliantly state of the art background remover that can literally remove the background on a foe tree. It's insane. It'll save you a ton of time. So what's next? There's a ton in a ton of features that edema has that it really can help you excel your design firm. And one of my favorite features that I wanted to share with you today, aside from client communication, adding tasks, managing those tasks is their business automation section where you can automate your client and lead onboarding. So what exactly is this? First and foremost, it's similar to doves auto, where you can automate your client onboarding process. I'm going to show you exactly how to do it. So first and foremost, you're going to add a new automation. And the first action item, I'm going to send an email. Here are some templates that edema includes in your subscription. Now of course you can edit those as you see fit in the settings. I'm going to click on initial interests to schedule a consultation. I can even preview this email here, and I can also edit this e-mail. Now the good thing too is when you edit and e-mail template, this actually copies the email template and creates a new one and retains the old ones. So that way you don't have to worry about overriding something that maybe you don't want to overwrite. Let's say I'm done editing this email and I want to send this 0 minutes, which means immediately after a lead is entered into Indian law, which is phenomenal. So anytime a lead is entered into edema, this e-mail will send to them. Now the next email them and ascend right after that is going to be my sales FAQ email. And this is going to go to that lead to hours after the last automation step was complete. So two hours after this one e-mail goes out, this next one we'll go out and I can do that again and again and again and create this whole campaign of emails. And let's say this one is gonna be like need to schedule a consultation. I'm going to send this three hours after the last automation step was complete, and then I could do another one another. It's quite amazing. You could even do an email and attach some stuff like a file to it, like a brochure or a welcome packet or some other crazy thing that you want us and to your lead, It's truly amazing and it helps you onboard your leads and your clients all seamlessly integrated platform.
