New Business

From first call to signed estimate.

Pipeline tracks every opportunity through the stages your studio uses. Estimates draw on your past projects, your contractor rates, and your studio’s pricing patterns — so the bid you send is grounded in how your business actually charges.

What this is

New Business is the engine that turns a lead into work the studio can actually do. The opportunity comes in, moves through scoping, gets a real estimate written against your real numbers, and lands as a signed project that the operational side picks up. One record, one stage at a time, one source of truth for what is in the room and what is about to close.

What's in it

The records and the work that runs against them.

Pipeline

Every opportunity in one view. Stages you define, the value attached, the probability, the next action, the person on it. Drag to move stages. Filter by stage, by client, by value, by what is overdue. The funnel that tells you what is real and what is a lead that has gone cold.

Estimates

Real estimates, not templated guesses. Pull from your past projects to set the shape. Pull from your contractor library to set the rates. Pull from your studio’s pricing patterns for the markup. Sections, line items, day rates, fixed-fee blocks — whatever your category of work uses.

AI-assisted estimate review

Before you send an estimate, Chloe runs the math. Catches the $0 line items. Flags the contractor rates that have aged out. Calls out the sections missing a date. The estimate you send is the estimate you meant to send.

Estimate-to-invoice workflow

When the estimate gets signed, it becomes the project’s source of truth for what was scoped. Invoices pull from those scoped lines — phase one, phase two, the deposit, the deliverable on completion. The work the client agreed to is the work that gets billed.

Templates

Your most common engagement shapes saved as starting points. Photography day rate template. Brand identity phased template. Director treatment phase template. New estimates start from your real patterns, not from scratch.

Activity feed

Every stage change, every estimate version, every signature event logged. The producer who picked up the project next quarter can see how it got there.

Chloe in this domain

Real interactions. Real classes of work.

Take these call notes and write the estimate.

She extracts the scope, the timeline, the deliverables, and the rough crew, then writes the estimate using your real contractor rates and your studio’s pricing patterns.

Review this estimate before I send it to the client.

She catches the line items with $0 rates, the contractor rates that have aged out of your library, the sections missing a date, and the math errors a tired eye misses.

Move the Volta opportunity to negotiating and bump the probability to 70%.

She updates the stage, the probability, and the next-action date in one pass. Logs the change to the activity feed.
