      Your Producer Onboarding Checklist

      Onboarding a producer may seem straightforward, but there are a couple key fields that you must include include to ensure that your producer is onboarded correctly!

      🎉 After completing these details, you are all set!

      AgentSync Note: Do you have multiple agencies that share an NPN?  We recommend adding the NPN to one agency only.  The agency with the NPN can serve as the parent account for all of the branch agencies to track the association.

      Step The "Why"
      Search to confirm that the producer's NPN is not already in your AgentSync system. Duplicate NPNs result in data being split (ex: if you have a producer who is licensed in TN and WY, your contact records will split this data, so one contact will have a TN license only and one contact will have a WY license only). To add a rule to prevent duplicate NPNs in your AgentSync org, please email support@agentsync.io.
      You add your producer's:
      1. First name
      2. Last name
      3. Account record (contacts only)      		 Salesforce requires all contacts to have an account in order for the contact to be searchable and invited to the portal.
      The status field on your producer shows success. This confirms that the NPN is correct and syned successfully. If your record does not show success, click here.
      You complete all added fields on your contact record. You may have fields unique to your AgentSync org such as manager, cost center, or date of hire. Adding these fields allows them to be reportable.
      You click save. This ensures that your information is saved!
