Configuring Sales Packages
Sales packages are used in both quoting and invoicing in patientNOW, and may be used for different purposes.
- To easily sell a combination of products and procedures (e.g. a BBL treatment and a post-treatment moisturizer).
- To simplify selling a special being offered (e.g. 20% off Signature Facials for the month of July).
- To configure product(s) and / or procedure(s) for a Membership plan.
- To configure a package of treatments (e.g. LHR - Lower Leg - buy 4 get 1 free)
- To create surgery combinations to simplify quoting (e.g. Breast Augmentation with Saline Implants, Breast Augmentation with Silicone Implants)
Note: not all packages have more than one product or procedure attached. You may have packages with a single product or procedure, especially when entering limited-time specials and Membership packages.
