How do I assign a new client to a designer?

This article contains the steps and blurbs needed to pass off a ready-to-order new client to a designer.

 

TLDR:

  • Send all necessary info including disclaimers sent to designer (document which designer you assigned to in Designer Assigner)
  • Send "Assigner" email to client introducing them to designer and asking any needed questions. Make sure the client is unenrolled from any workflows in HubSpot.
  • Mark designer as CSR in the clients estimate and put unread emails containing artwork/important info in designers inbox.
  • Document assigned client in the Deisgner Assigner.xlsx spreadsheet

 

  • Review Designer Assigner Doc and determine which designer is next to receive a new client: Designer Assigner
  • Fill out the blurb below to send to designer in slack:

 

Name: 

Company:

Estimate #

Order description:

Desired timeline: 

Press proofs: Yes/no

Were they told about the proof fee?: Yes/No

Mailing address/local pick-up:

Machine apply/hand apply(chopped individually?)

Notes:

Let me know if you have any questions!

 

  • Email the client using the Assigner Snippit: 

 

“I will now connect you with , one of our fantastic prepress designers, who you will hear from soon!

They will reach out with digital proofs to approve before proceeding with the order.

I have a few more questions for you:

- What is a good mailing address?

- Is there a certain date you are hoping to get the order in hand by?

- Do you plan to hand-apply or machine-apply?

Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns--we are happy to help!”

 

  • Make sure the client is unenrolled from any workflows in HubSpot.
  • Skim over email thread with client to make sure you got all the details. Ask any other necessary questions. *Make sure to note what disclaimers regarding their order have been sent to the client.
  • Send complete form to designer in slack and send the client the email.
  • Change the CSR in the clients estimate to the designer you assigned them to and put all emails with artwork and important information in designers inbox as unread. 
  • Enter info into Designer Assigner spreadsheet:  Deisgner Assigner.xlsx
