Step 1: Identify Incorrect Assignments 0:00

  • Recognize that an Agent may have written under another Agent's NPN or writing ID.
  • Understand that this can lead to incorrect commission statements.

Step 2: Create a New Folder for Corrections 1:06

  • Create a new folder named 'Agent Name Corrections' in the system.

Step 3: Set Up If/Then Rules 1:15

  • Use If/Then rules to identify clients assigned to the incorrect Agent.
  • Input the full names of clients that need to be reassigned.

Step 4: Assign Correct Agent Name 1:56

  • Set the Agent name to the correct Agent (e.g., Mike Tyson).
  • Ensure that all commissions for the identified clients are reassigned to the correct Agent.

Step 5: Confirm Changes 2:28

  • Run the If/Then rules and confirm the changes.
  • Verify that the Agent name has been updated correctly in the system.

Step 6: Organize Client Folders 3:37

  • Optionally, create subfolders for each Agent to keep client assignments organized.
  • Example: 'Mike Tyson's Clients', 'Lee's Clients'.

Step 7: Automate Future Updates 5:15

  • Decide on a schedule for manual updates (e.g., bi-weekly or monthly).
  • Alternatively, set up automation using Zapier to streamline the process.

Step 8: Create a Submission Form 6:01

  • Use a form (e.g., JotForm or Google Forms) for Agents to submit their sales information.

Step 9: Connect Form to ComTrack via Zapier 8:08

  • Set up a Zapier integration to connect the form submissions to ComTrack.
  • Ensure that the correct fields are mapped (e.g., client name, Agent name).

Step 10: Test Automation 12:15

  • Test the automation to ensure that submissions correctly create rules in ComTrack.

Step 11: Handle Multiple Clients with Same Name 14:08

  • If multiple clients share the same name, add additional conditions (e.g., carrier name) to specify the correct assignment.

Cautionary Notes

  • Always double-check the Agent names and client assignments to avoid payment errors.
  • Ensure that all team members are trained on the SOP to maintain consistency.

Tips for Efficiency

  • Regularly review and update the If/Then rules to keep them relevant.
  • Use clear naming conventions for folders and rules to enhance organization.
