Internal Communication

 

Follow Up Boss

Follow up Boss (FUB) is the internal CRM we utilize to manage agent's profiles pre connect and how staff communicates to agents. Onboarding process lives in FUB. (Intake Application, Revisions, Contract Signed, Activation, and Systems and Tech Plan Sent)

☐Review Follow Up Boss (FUB) 

☐Ensure your settings are correct

☐Add your email signature Example of a Canva Template Signature

☐Familiarize with communications such as call, text, email (review template folders)

Admin Connect

The Onboarding team utilizes Admin Connect to set up systems for each agent, which occurs during the system setup process (Activation stage). Onboarding utilizes Connect to view users, integrations, payment profiles, comp plans, and license info.

  • BPO (Broker Pricing Opinion) is a Flat $10 Risk Fee
  • Seat Share is when 2 agents decide to join as 1 seat (they share all company fees and all deals are an automatic 50/50 split unless otherwise notated on the intake form) **they do EACH have a $500 annual fee
