Summary of training by phase

Streamline

The first step after your agency signs the MSA is to join a welcome call with Conduit’s Client Experience (CX) team. During this call, we'll introduce you to our Help Center, explain how to communicate with us using Teamwork, review onboarding forms, guide you through your Agency Hub, discuss goals and KPAs, provide an overview of your first 90 days, and outline the next steps for transitioning your accounts. After this call, you'll start transitioning accounts before moving on to the next phase. Additionally, we will schedule an access call to help navigate the access process, ensuring a seamless setup for your accounts.


Upgrade

After your transition accounts go live, we schedule two essential calls. The first call focuses on your Performance Dashboard and Financial Dashboard, ensuring you have a clear understanding of how to use our tools and interpret the data, getting you what you need in the most tangible, meaningful way. The second call is an initial New Business discussion where we review the rate card, discuss retail pricing alignment, and introduce you to our Margin Calculator. Additionally, we offer refresher sessions as needed to support your ongoing success.


Scale

In the Scale phase of your agency’s onboarding, we focus on equipping your team with the tools and knowledge to seize growth opportunities. The first training, our Sales Support Training, is unlocked at the 90-day mark. This training covers our Sales Support Service tools, including a refresher on the Margin Calculator, an introduction to our Product Playbook, and guidance on the various Sales Support Services we provide. These services include Market Opportunity Assessments (MOAs) and Strategic Recommendations for new business opportunities and Land & Expands for existing accounts. Additionally, we’ll discuss retail pricing and custom packages tailored to your needs as your team goes to market. This phase also includes your first Product Training to ensure you're well-versed in our offerings and can sell confidently. As always, we provide additional refreshers as needed to support your ongoing success.
