Orbits or Circles? Organize Your Contacts in Meaningful Ways

Groups, Circles, or Orbits? While the concept of Orbits may be new for most people, Orbits aren't just our unique name for the ways we sort contacts in VIPorbit.

VIPorbit mobile relationship manager is designed around the concept of organizing contacts into groups, or Orbits. One definition for the word orbit is a person's sphere of resource and influence. In the app, these Orbits can be created for temporary or long-term use. You can create an Orbit by selecting one or more contacts, from search results, or by drag-and-drop from the "All" contacts list or any other existing Orbit.

What you can do with an Orbit also serves to set Orbits apart from the Circles and Groups out there. Did you know, for instance, that you can group text or email an entire Orbit with messages that don't look like they went out to everyone? You can also apply a change to the contact records of everyone in an Orbit with one simple edit. Orbits are very powerful tools for both organization and communication. 

To help you make the most of your Orbits, we've recently updated our tutorial videos, including the videos that demonstrate how to organize your contacts by Orbit. Watch one today:
