A potential client (prospect) begins by filling out the Kickoff Form.

Navigate to Submissions within the CRM to access client data.
-
Review the Activity Stream to verify details, including form completion and email confirmations.

If needed, manually schedule a call via the integrated calendar tool.

3. Decision-Making Process
Step 4: Completing the Decision Form

Submit the form to finalize the decision.
Step 5: Proposal Management

The proposal includes service details, terms, pricing, and an agreement signature.

Once the client signs the proposal, they are redirected to the invoice payment page.

To modify a proposal, navigate to Office > Proposals and edit as needed.
4. Client Portal Access and Onboarding

Upon proposal acceptance, the client is automatically invited to the portal.

Manually send an invite if necessary by selecting Send Portal Invitation.
Step 7: Client Dashboard and Resources

The client logs in and completes the Onboarding Flow, including:
-
Watching an introduction video
-
Completing an Onboarding Questionnaire
-
Scheduling an Onboarding Call

-
After completing these steps, the client gains full dashboard access.
Step 8: Program Enrollment and Circle Updates

Based on the selected service, assign the client to the appropriate Circle (e.g., Bloom Into You, Roots to Rise).

Remove them from any temporary inquiry circles.

Tasks can be tracked under the client’s profile in CRM > Activity Stream.
