The Owner Onboarding Pipeline is a structured process designed to efficiently guide property managers through the various stages involved in onboarding a new property.
Purpose: The primary purpose of the Owner Onboarding Pipeline is to streamline and simplify the process of bringing new property owners into the management system. By breaking down the onboarding process into distinct stages, property managers can effectively track progress, assign responsibilities, and ensure that no crucial steps are overlooked. This standardized approach also helps in maintaining consistency across different properties and ensures a positive experience for both property owners and managers.
Stages of the Owner Onboarding Pipeline:
Will the user assigned from the Sales Pipeline be the same assigned user during the Onboarding Process? If the answer is yes, nothing else will need to happen. If the answer is no, if needs to be a different user or maybe a different user per stage, then the automations will need to be updated to include this step. Add an Assigned User to a Workflow
