EP 60: client management made easy: why honeybook Is my go-to
Hey everyone! Summer Grace here, and today, I’m so excited to talk about a tool that’s been a total game-changer for my business: HoneyBook. If you’re a creative entrepreneur, you already know that running a business is about way more than just being creative—it’s about staying organized and making your systems work for you. HoneyBook has been the backbone of my business since I was 19, and today, I’m sharing how it’s helped me build my dream and how it can help you, too. Let’s dive in!
How I Started with HoneyBook
When I first launched my photography business, I wasn’t making much money, but I knew I needed systems in place if I wanted to grow. Enter HoneyBook. It completely changed the way I ran my business—no more messy email chains or juggling random tools. HoneyBook brought everything into one place and made it feel like I could actually handle my big goals, even as a beginner. Starting off with it early was one of the smartest decisions I made, and it set me up for success.
Why HoneyBook is a Must-Have
Big Goals Need Solid Systems
Here’s the truth: big dreams aren’t enough—you need a plan to back them up. HoneyBook helps you build the systems that make those goals possible. Whether you’re a photographer like me, a venue owner, or even a music producer, it’s like having a virtual assistant that never takes a day off.
Streamlined Workflows for the Win
One of my favorite things about HoneyBook is how it takes you from inquiry to final delivery in one seamless workflow. Everything is organized into projects, so you don’t have to waste time hunting for emails or losing track of details. Less admin, more creating—it’s a total game-changer.
Elevating Client Experience
We all know how important first impressions are, right? HoneyBook makes your business look professional from the start with easy-to-use invoicing and contract features. Clients love how smooth the process is, and happy clients lead to more referrals. It’s a win-win!
Automation Without Losing Your Personal Touch
HoneyBook’s automations are next-level. You can set up automated follow-ups, payment reminders, and thank-you emails, but the best part? It still feels personal. You stay in control of your brand voice and how you communicate. So your clients get the thoughtful, professional experience they expect—without you spending hours behind the screen.
The Contact Form That Does It All
This might be my favorite feature: HoneyBook’s contact form! Embedding it on my website means every new inquiry is automatically added as a project in HoneyBook. No more manual entry, no more missed leads. It’s simple, efficient, and makes staying on top of inquiries so much easier.
HoneyBook’s Advanced Features
There’s so much more to HoneyBook than just the basics. It offers scheduling tools, integrates with platforms like QuickBooks, and even helps you manage your finances directly. You can run your entire business from one platform—how cool is that?
Growing Your Business with HoneyBook
Whether you’re just starting out or scaling an established business, HoneyBook can make your life so much easier. If you’re new, it gives you the professionalism and structure to build credibility. If you’ve been in business for a while, it refines your systems and frees up your time to focus on what you love most.
