Onboarding Pipeline [INTERNAL]

DRAFT - WORKFLOW NOT LAUNCHED

 

The "Onboarding pipeline" is where we visualize and track the process of onboarding new clients (stations and customers).

Inside the Onboarding pipeline are "Deals" - and each deal consists of a collection of data (information) gathered over time (as the deal develops). This information includes:

  • Contacts (the client-side people we will work with to coordinate Onboarding)
  • Entities (the radio stations that are licensing our product as part of the Deal)
  • Communications with contacts (emails) and manual notes captured during the Sales process
  • Contract terms (agreement length, payment type, products licensed, start/end date, etc.)
  • Contract (the signed legal document)

Deals move through "stages" in the Onboarding pipeline, and each stage has corresponding "tasks" that must be completed before the Deal can move on to the next stage.  These stages and tasks add clarity to "who" is responsible for "what" and "when" (in the Onboarding process), and bring transparency to the "current status" of every new client being onboarded.
