*This should hopefully not be the standard case for the audit. Most should be the Trello template. But including this since after the audit and moving forward, the Dealer Info template will be pulling from the client’s Intake Call form.

  1. Copy the Dealer Info Template. Paste it into the Ongoing Fulfillment Chatter as a POST, not as a comment.

  1. Fill Out the Dealer Template according to the process for Using the New Client Template or according to the process for Using the Old Trello Client Template.

  1. Delete the old OF Chatter Dealer Info post that used a different template.

  1. Update the dealer’s checkbox in the Content Update Spreadsheet

    1. (Remove after the audit process is done since this resource will then be used just for newly signed clients)

A few key things

  • If dealer has not filled out the new intake form yet, and the relevant information isn’t already in the Chatter using the old dealer info template, put “TBA” (to be announced). This lets us know that the section could be filled out down the road should the dealer fill out the new intake form, rather than the dealer just not having those offerings.

  • Put information in the Any Need To Know Information About Dealership In General (OK If Blank):

  • Additional Services or Departments: What sets them apart from other dealers (if anything)? Ex: slogans, perks, specialties: General Notes:

  • all in the About Us section
