Episode 28 - The Gift of Time
Save time in how you manage, message, onboard and connect with your partners
For this MicroCast series we are focusing on the topic of gifts.\xa0 Now that doesn\u2019t mean we are going to teach you how to find those deals and steals, get you informed about the latest gadgets or help you with the coolest trending Christmas gift.\xa0 Rather, we are going to focus on the gifts that Convey\u2019s technology brings to master agents, carriers vendors and sales agents to make their business lives easier.\xa0
If you ask just about anybody, the one gift we all want but often eludes most of us is the gift of time. \xa0 Imagine having hours back in your day so you don\u2019t have to work late hours, can spend more time with your family, get to the gym for that workout or just have time to sit down.\xa0 It\u2019s something we all strive for.\xa0
In the industries we serve, sales agents and master agents are small business owners, so they have to do it all from selling deals to managing accounts to doing all of the administration to run a business.\xa0 Vendors and carriers don\u2019t have it any better.\xa0 They have lots of people to satisfy, need to travel and attend events, and then keep both partners and their customers happy.\xa0 All of those things can suck time right out of the day with little left over for personal things.\xa0
Every day, Convey delivers the gift of more time by reducing the time it takes to distribute content, automate processes, managing messaging and outreach, and consolidating content in one place to eliminate wasted time searching all over the internet for what sellers need to serve their customers.\xa0 Let\u2019s take a look at some of those time-saving opportunities so you know they are out there and how to take advantage of them.
We save you time in getting the word out.\xa0 Marketing spends a lot of time developing product slicks, case studies, incentives, videos and marketing materials.\xa0 However, that time is wasted if it doesn\u2019t make it into a salesperson\u2019s hands.\xa0 That\u2019s where Convey\u2019s Hub and Spoke technology comes in.\xa0
Vendors and carriers have online catalogs where they can tell their story, let partners and producers know what segments of the market they play in, how their products and services fit in and why partners should pay attention.\xa0 A catalog is a blank canvas where marketing can paint any picture they want.\xa0 It\u2019s quick to add pages, banners, videos, and marketing materials, but the efficiency of getting that information into the hands of partners is time-savings magic.\xa0 Put a product slick online in the hub site, press the save button and it magically appears on every master agent portal. \xa0
It\u2019s not enough to just get information online, you have to get people to pay attention and for portal owners this is automated.\xa0 Portals send out messages when new content is added, can automatically add content to the home page, and reminds portal members to come look.\xa0 All of these processes are automated, so no time is wasted in trying to get the word out.\xa0
We save you time looking for stuff. You can certainly find a lot of content on Convey\u2019s portals online, but the time it takes to search and look on different websites can be lengthy.\xa0 Portals put information in one online location and make that information easily searchable, saving time looking around.\xa0 If you are looking at a master agent portal with many vendors and carriers adding information, those vendors give you links to take a deeper dive, so you don\u2019t have to guess where to find it.\xa0
We save you time onboarding portal members.\xa0 So, you sign a partner or agency up, now what?\xa0 Sometimes training and onboarding people can be a time-intensive activity unless you have technology to help you.\xa0
