We help you get more done in fewer steps.

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, vendors, carriers and partners to make their business lives easier.\\xa0

I know tons of people who obsess over watching Marie Kondo show you how to fold things, organizers that keep clutter at bay, or gadgets that help you go faster and do more with less.\\xa0 If you are efficient, you are likely much more to be effective in both your personal and business life.\\xa0

Convey is built to give you the gift of efficiency.\\xa0 Because we are a small company, we built our technology to be automated, manage processes without you having to intervene, onboard and manage partners, remind and message, and manage your communication and marketing.\\xa0 For most everything in our portals or catalogs, you can just set it and forget it!\\xa0

Let\\u2019s start with automation.\\xa0 If you\\u2019ve been in business long enough you have suffered through manual processes that create a time suck when you are trying to get things done.\\xa0 What\\u2019s worse, is that when processes are not automated, people forget to do things, make mistakes and focus way too much time in administration and not enough time on running the business.\\xa0

Convey has the philosophy that it\\u2019s so much easier on you to just \\u201cset it and forget it\\u201d.\\xa0 We automate how content and events are displayed on our portal home pages by automatically displaying events on the home page calendar, rotating content posts on and off the home page or adding content to directories when it\\u2019s posted.\\xa0 \\xa0

It\\u2019s now really efficient to keep your information from being old and out of date.\\xa0 It\\u2019s super frustrating for people to go look for an incentive only to find one that they get super excited about and find that it was for Q1 and now you are in Q3.\\xa0 Sometimes it\\u2019s hard to keep up with promotions that are out of date, events that have come and gone or anything that has expired.\\xa0 Convey makes it easy and efficient for you to keep old stuff cleaned out by using our scheduling engine. \\xa0 Take down any banner, event or piece of content by scheduling it to appear and then be removed when it\\u2019s no longer relevant.

Let\\u2019s talk about the efficiency you have in engaging the members of your portal.\\xa0 You would likely stop looking at things unless you are reminded to do so.\\xa0 Think about how many emails you get from that favorite vendor with new products, sneak peaks or special sales.\\xa0 Retailers know that you have to see something a number of times before you click through, take a deeper look and buy that item that they have so diligently been promoting.

This process is no different when you think about getting your portal members to pay attention to you.\\xa0 Convey\\u2019s technology is built to engage its members and makes it efficient to do it. \\xa0 Start by whether portal members are looking at all.\\xa0 The system knows how long it\\u2019s been since the last login and if that is too long, sends a gentle reminder to take a look.\\xa0 The portal invites members to be responsive and take action vs. just look around.\\xa0 You can add forms, links, registrations and other calls to action so portal members have something to do and not just something to look at.\\xa0 You can send emails, newsletters and text reminders to get portal members to remember you are still out there thinking about them.

We make training much more efficient. New portal members can land on a dashboard that takes them through the product training they need, gives them more information about your partner program, and lets them know how
