New Sales


Digital Marketing Operations Team

  • A Digital Marketing Salesperson drops the new sale information into DS Digital Marketing New Sales chat (Teams).
  • The Digital Marketing Operations Team updates the Client Tracker as well as Insight 365(CRM) so SEM Specialists and Account Managers can find the information they need
  • The Digital Marketing Operations Team emails the new sale information to the SEM Team Lead as well as the Account Manager Team Lead

Accounting

  • The Accounting Team creates the initial project record in Insight365 (CRM) once they receive the new sale contract information from the Digital Marketing Sales Team.
