From quote to invoice: what a small company's sales process looks like
A small company's sales usually take six steps: enquiry, contact, a deal in the pipeline, a quote, acceptance, then invoice and payment. It runs smoothly when every step builds on the same customer and the same lines, so the quote and the invoice show the same total and nothing has to be retyped.
Managing a shared info@ inbox: who answers what, and when
A shared info@ mailbox works when every message has an owner: somebody who knows it is theirs, while everyone else can see it is being dealt with. A shared password cannot do that; a CRM's shared inbox can: mail arrives as conversations, can be assigned, the reply stays on the customer's timeline, and support requests go to a queue of their own.
Project management for a small business: budget, tasks, time and invoice
In a small company project management means holding four things together: what is to be delivered (milestones and tasks), who does it, how much time it takes, and what the budget is. With these in one place, an overrun shows while something can still be done, and the time spent reaches the invoice without retyping. This guide walks through it step by step, from the order to the invoice.
Working time records in Hungary: what the Labour Code requires
Under the Hungarian Labour Code the employer keeps a record of the length of regular and overtime work, standby and leave, and the record must show, up to date, when work started and ended (Mt. § 134). The parties cannot agree otherwise. This guide goes through what has to be recorded, which limits to watch when scheduling, and how a small company can keep the record. General information based on the Act's text, not legal advice.
How to choose a CRM as a small business in 2026
Write down first what the CRM must take over from today's spreadsheets and notes, then answer seven questions: who will use it, who sees what, whether the interface and invoicing work in Hungarian, what it will cost in a year, whether the data can be taken out, and how long the rollout takes. Then try it for two weeks on real data, not on a demo.
