Onboard Check Process
Last updated: January 24, 2024
Purpose
Onboard checks exist to improve efficiency in the onboarding process. The OB doc is like a “game of telephone” meaning – the more clear the AE is in the doc, the faster and more efficient the onboarding team can get the doc built and the company trained.
Errors in the Onboarding doc often result in questions during the build process, or rebuilds soon after the company is trained, slowing the process and sometimes frustrating our potential customers. The better the doc, the faster the company can go live ensuring them the amazing FareHarbor experience.
Reasons for a Check
- Mandatory check for new AEs (usually 10+ of first OBs and then those with resources)
Mandatory checks for AEs who have had multiple Onboards sent back from the building team (at the discretion of sales management)
- This will be a discussion between management and the AE to come up with a plan to help get future OB docs dialed
- Checks can range from all onboards to just those with resources, just API set-ups, etc
Complex resource set ups
- API/ Affiliate set ups
- Just want another set of eyes on a big company!
