Once your needs get more complex (i.e. your business is generating the revenue to fund investments in software) you can consider contracting a Podio specialist to build out the automations and more complex functionality you need to scale even further.If you want to DIY for now, Podio offers some really good "getting started" videos: https://help.podio.com/hc/en-us/categories/2000956...Having built dozens of Podio systems for a variety of companies (including investor relations CRMs), I can attest that your investment in Podio (whether in your time, or hiring someone) will be well-spent.Good luck!
