As a service-based business owner, you need flexibility in how you sell your offerings. IVOREY gives you over six different ways to sell, each designed for specific business needs and stages. Let's explore each option so you can choose what works best for you right now.
Remember: You can use multiple methods simultaneously and evolve your approach as your business grows. The goal is to start selling quickly while building toward more strategic, automated systems.
Watch the 17 minute training below (strongly recommended) to orientate you to all the different ways to sell in Ivorey - some of which you've likely never seen offered in other platforms before!
NOTE: No matter which way you choose to sell, a workflow is typically required. (e.g. to tag your contact, send login details, welcome email etc).

Please refer to other trainings to see how to implement any of these options.
