This guide will walk you through all the necessary information for understanding the processes and procedures behind the flow of the First Month Tasks board. We will cover a range of topics, such as where the cards come from, when they should be created, what the lists mean, and the process for moving cards all the way to completion.

Card Creation:

Card Creation Process Summary:

As part of the new sales process, cards are created on the First Month’s Task Board after they have been added to the monthly planner (where all digital marketing sales are recorded).

Once created, the cards are added to the “Initial Setup” list, where a start date and due date will be assigned. You will have three days from the time of creation to completely process all new clients before they become past due.

In the event that the site is not live or if the start date for the service is in the future where we should wait to start setup, you would add the card to the “Waiting” list and assign the correct “waiting status” to the card from the drop-down field. If the reason they are waiting doesn’t align with either of the above-mentioned reasons, you would assign the “Other” waiting status and make a note in the “Waiting Status Info” text field.

    1. If the Site is Not Live – Add the card to the “Waiting” list - Adding cards to this list will require you to fill in some additional information further down about the status and reason a card is in this list.

  4. Fill out the following sales information as part of the card setup:

    5. CRM Digital Marketing Project Link - Link to the client’s digital marketing project. Guide below will show you how to find it.

  5. If the site is not live, has a future start date, or is not ready to start for some other reason, you will need to fill out the information in the “Waiting Status Information Section.”:

    1. Waiting Status - This will indicate which of the above-mentioned reasons a card might be in the
      ”Waiting” list

    2. Waiting Reason - *Required for "Other" - If you have selected other from the drop-down, a note about the reasoning is required

  6. Fill Out the Service Specific Information For Each Product Sold:

    4. TDA Options

      1. TDA Budget - How much would the client like to spend on TDA?

  7. Remove Unnecessary Checklists

    1. You will want to start by checking whether or not the client has existing digital marketing services to see what setup steps we can remove from the template. Removing steps that have already been completed for another product keeps us from duplicating work and allows us to complete setups much faster.

      1. You will need to open up the Digital Marketing Project in CRM to see what services a client currently has.

        1. In the bottom left-hand of the screen, you will need to ensure your area is set to Digital Marketing. This will allow you to see the projects option on the left-hand side rail.

        2. Click “Projects”

        3. From there, you can use the small search bar in the top right-hand of the “Active DigMs Projects” to search for the client by name.

        4. That will pull up the project for that client and will list all the current products under the “Services Summary (Text)” heading.

        5. If they have a service that is not listed in the sale you’re currently processing, you can remove the initial setup checklist.

      1. Delete the checklists that are associated with services that were not included in the sale

        1. This will cut down on the amount of clutter as well as make the checkmark counter more accurate.

List Purposes:

  • Templates

    • This list is used to house the current templates used for new card creation.

    • Nothing else should ever be on this list.

  • Waiting

    • This list is used to house cards that cannot move forward with the setup because they are either waiting on the site to go live, have a future start date, or have some other reason that would require them to put the setup on hold.
