Within the Vendasta platform, the terms "Accounts" and "Companies" are foundational elements, each serving a distinct role in how you interact with the platform. Understanding the differences between them can enhance your experience and streamline your operations. Accounts: Billing relationship An Account in Vendasta is a legacy entity that has been the backbone of our platform for many years. It is the administrative record that encompasses the billing, service provisioning, and historical data for our clients. Key Aspects of Accounts: Billing Center: Accounts are tightly integrated with our billing systems. They are where all financial transactions, product activation, invoices, and billing details are managed. Back-end Foundation: While not directly visible in the front end, Accounts support numerous essential functions behind the scenes. Legacy Features: Many of the platform's original features and processes are designed around the Account structure, such as Opportunities, Orders, and Snapshot Reports. Companies: Customer relationship A Company is a newer concept introduced with our updated CRM system, designed to serve as the primary interface for managing client relationships. They focus on customer interaction, sales management, and operational details that support the growth and maintenance of your business connections. They contain the majority of data you would typically find within the accounts.  Benefits of Companies: CRM-focused: Companies center on managing your interactions and opportunities with clients. Visibility and Access: Provide a more intuitive and streamlined user experience for relationship management activities, such as engagement and keeping information up to date. Future vision: While already capture most of the information from accounts, the goal is for Companies to become your 'Single Source of Truth' for business representation on our platform. The Distinct Roles Accounts: These are mainly used for handling your financial dealings on Vendasta. This covers billing details, product activations, and payment histories. To initiate these processes, you will need to create an account from the company if not already created. When the business information for an account is changed, it will sync with the Company details and vice versa.  Companies: These are centered on building and maintaining customer relationships. They help you track potential leads and manage ongoing client interactions through the activity timeline. This is the interface you’ll engage with the most. Currently, you can perform some actions, like generating Snapshot Reports, managing opportunities, and processing orders on the company page via the company’s associated account. We're in the process of expanding this to include automation, product activation, project tracking, and invoice management in the same manner, which will consolidate your workflow into one convenient page. For any further clarification or assistance, our Support team is always ready to ensure your Vendasta experience is both proficient and pleasant.

You have the option to hide your physical business address in Listing Sync Pro, Listing Distribution, and Listings Grade in the Snapshot Report. Clients will be able to list their business as a "Service Area Business" rather than a service in one physical location. This feature is also available as a “Bulk Update” action. Partners will be able to accommodate existing and prospective clients who run service area businesses. These businesses offer local services without a physical location, such as those that offer mobile or online services, operate from home, or use third-party locations. Service area providers will now be able to accurately sync their listings with sources that support a hidden physical address, which will result in a more accurate listing score. This will also improve the accuracy of the listing grade in the snapshot report for these businesses.Certain listing sources do not currently support this feature. This will affect the number of Listing Sync Pro sources that show up as available to sync with, in Local SEO. Though this will reduce the number of sources that are available to sync with, it will not impact your listing score negatively. How Does it Work? When creating a new account in Partner Center > Accounts > Manage Accounts:  Under “Business Profile”, check the box next to Service Area Business (hide physical address). This can be found under the “Zip/Postal Code” field. This option will be set to Off by default. To hide the physical address for an existing account: In Partner Center, select Businesses > Accounts. Select the business you would like to edit. Click on the "View all data" button  Under “Location”, below the “Zip/ Postal Code” field, check the box next to Service Area Business (hide physical address). Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save. To hide physical addresses for multiple existing accounts: In Partner Center: Select Businesses > Accounts Click the menu icon next to Create Account > Select Update Accounts (CSV Upload). Upload a CSV file with the new data, either by first exporting a list to a CSV, or using the provided template.[*Note — The template features a column titled Service Area Business. Include in the template all the accounts that need their address hidden, and write Yes in this column, next to each account.] Upload the CSV file and click Next. Select the box next to Address. Choose if you would like the empty cells to overwrite existing data in the spreadsheet and click Next. 7. Review the updated changes and click Update. The suppressed address update will take 6 to 8 weeks to be synced on all listing platforms.

Overview Once you start an email marketing campaign, Vendasta tracks how recipients engage with the campaign to help you make insightful decisions. When you open a campaign, you can view how many recipients received, opened, and clicked through each email in the campaign. You can also view how many times an email bounced, or how many recipients unsubscribed from an email.All activity is always attributed to the original recipient, even though external processes and systems can sometimes initiate the activity. There are no clear indicators to differentiate if these activities are initiated by a human or an automated program, resulting in some Open Rates or Click-Through Rates (CTRs) being falsely registered on behalf of the recipient. Here are some common reasons why that may happen: Third-party unsubscribe links: Our email campaigns contain an unsubscribe link. When this link is clicked, it only registers as an “unsubscribe” and not as a click. However, many email clients nowadays have the option to ask the recipient to unsubscribe from suspected spam/newsletter emails. If the recipient unsubscribes using these third-party links, it registers with a click. Recipient email client settings: An email's open rate is recorded with a single tracking pixel embedded into the email. Usually, this tracking pixel is associated with an image. A recipient’s email client may block loading images to protect the recipient from spammers. If the email client blocks loading images, the open rate is not tracked. Spam and virus scanners: Some internet service providers (ISP) click on links within an email to check for security risks. When this happens, the clicks are recorded on behalf of the recipient.Unfortunately, these external initiations are out of our control. To maintain accurate email metrics, we recommend identifying domains that skew campaign metrics and segmenting those domains from your analysis. Export Campaign Activity After starting an email campaign, you can export a list of users who interacted with the campaign. Then, you can use that exported data to create a new user list and retarget those users with another campaign.To export campaign activity: Go to Marketing > Campaigns. Go to the Campaign Activity page.  At the end of a row in the campaigns table, click the three dots next to the Campaign, then click View History. Why is this important? The Email Builder streamlines the process of creating emails, offering an easy-to-use drag-and-drop functionality. This empowers you to save time and craft effective emails that engage prospects and drive conversions. How to create custom email campaigns Go to Marketing in the left navigation menu > Campaigns. Click Create Campaign in the upper right. Enter a descriptive name for the campaign that your salespeople will recognize. Click Create. Depending on what you want to do, click Add existing email, Create new email, or Add Snapshot Report.  If you select Create new email, you will immediately enter the Email Builder where you can build your email campaign. If you selected Add Snapshot Report, the campaign will automatically create or refresh a Snapshot Report for your prospect. If any of the emails in the campaign link to the Snapshot Report, this event ensures the information in the report is up-to-date. Continue adding events until you have finished creating the campaign Adjust the days before starting or days after previous event. We recommend the following email frequencies: Customer Acquisition: lower frequency (1 email/week) Product Adoption: higher frequency (3 emails/week) Product Upsell: lower frequency (1 email/week) Configure your campaign to bring in the right number of leads on the right days. Learn more. Before publishing your campaign, preview and test your emails. Click the ⋮ icon menu and select Preview > Send test email.

The Vendasta team has been working hard to bring new advancements to the new CRM within Partner Center. Since its launch in November 2023, the Partner Center CRM has evolved to become the best place for Vendasta Partners and their Sales teams to sell solutions to SMB clients. This significant advancement towards a unified CRM experience is beneficial to partners with and without dedicated sales teams, providing a cohesive all-in-one platform experience to Partner Center users, and limiting access to salespeople-only users when necessary. Take a look at the Vendasta Changelog for all of the details and FAQs.  Starting June 24th, 2024, new partners that register for Vendasta will not have access to Sales & Success Center.  Existing partners (those who have an account prior to June 24th) retain access to Sales & Success Center but are encouraged to migrate to Partner Center CRM as soon as possible. Sales & Success Center will eventually be sunsetted for all partners at a future date, to be determined.  All existing partners except the partners who are currently white-labeling the Sales & Success Center  (via a setting in Administration) will start seeing a Partner Center button in Sales & Success Center which will redirect their salesperson to the new CRM in Partner Center. All new salesperson welcome emails will also direct salespeople to Partner Center as well. Custom Domain Requests: Partners white-labeling Sales & Success Center can request custom domains for Partner Center based on their subscription tiers. Custom Domains are available on all subscription tiers with the exception of Starter, Startup, and Individual plans. Beyond custom domains, partners can further white-label the Partner Center experience for their salespeople by ensuring they have their role set to “Salesperson”. Why migrate to the new CRM in Partner Center? Integrated and seamless workflow: Manage sales cycles, gather leads, and launch targeted email campaigns within Partner Center (instead of needing to switch to Sales & Success Center). Unified sales activities and data streamline user experience. For example, sending Campaigns to a list of “users” was cumbersome. Today, it’s significantly easier with “Contacts”. Automation and expansion capabilities: Includes AI-assisted web chat widget and Form Builder for capturing leads. Users can also run bulk actions on Contacts and Companies from manual automations, with more system automations coming soon (like “assign task”). Zapier integration enables extensive automation and custom workflows. Enhanced customer and sales management: New "Companies" and "Contacts" tabs offer flexible customer management and advanced filtering. Partners can collect Contact information from Forms and AI Lead Capture without the need to create an Account for the business. They can nurture that Contact with emails, and then eventually move them into a Company. Enhanced Company profiles and Snapshot Report integration on the Companies table improve sales prospecting. How do I migrate my team to the new Partner Center CRM? Starting June 24th, 2024, provide your team members with access to partners.vendasta.com. You can provide the link to Partner Center directly. You can invite new salespeople by visiting https://partners.vendasta.com/my-team and clicking “Invite team member” in the top-right. If your salesperson is already listed in the “My Team” table, you can invite them to Partner Center by clicking the kebab menu next to their account on the page above and selecting “Resend Welcome Email”.  You can adjust the permissions of your salespeople in Partner Center by clicking the kebab menu and selecting “Edit member”.  This will allow you to to configure what they have access to in the Partner Center CRM. Call to Action Existing Vendasta Partners are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the exciting new features of the Partner Center CRM and watch for future updates. The Vendasta team will provide legacy access to Sales & Success Center until a future date, to be determined. 

Email marketing campaigns can be paused or unpaused from Partner Center. Currently, pausing and then unpausing a campaign will not preserve buffering recipients. Pausing a campaign will move all recipients to Stopped, including those that were buffering before the campaign was paused. Unpausing a campaign will move all Stopped recipients to In Progress, including those that had been buffering before the campaign was paused.When a campaign is paused, all preset email drip timing will be reset. For example, if a campaign is paused, each recipient will be reset to wait the full duration between the step they last received and the next step they should receive. To pause/unpause an email campaign: Go to Partner Center > Marketing > Campaigns. Search for the campaign you want to pause. Click the three dots  at the end of the campaign row. Click Pause Campaign or Resume Campaign. You can also pause/unpause the campaign from the campaign page. Click Actions in the upper right corner of the screen, then click Pause Campaign or Resume Campaign.  Issues with unpausing email campaigns If a campaign will not unpause, it is likely due to one of the following reasons: Account(s) on the campaign is missing a Snapshot Report when a Snapshot is required for the campaign. Retry after ensuring that all accounts have a Snapshot Report. See this article for more details on how to leverage the Snapshot Creation campaign step within your email campaign. Account(s) on the campaign are missing a specific product or add-on when a specific product or add-on is required for the campaign. Retry after ensuring that the required product—according to the campaign’s content—is active on all accounts. If the mailing address information is missing, an unsubscribe option will not be available. Check your email settings under Partner Center > Administration > Customize > Email Settings for more details. The loading deadline may have been exceeded. If this is the case, ensure that you are connected to the internet and try again.

Use forms to collect information from your visitors, and capture them as leads. With Vendasta, you can effortlessly create forms to integrate into your websites. Create a form In Partner Center, navigate to Marketing > Forms. In the upper right, click Create form. Enter a name for your form. Click Create. Adding and editing form fields Adding form fields on your form to gather data from visitors. You have the option to add a rich text area among the fields, which allows for the addition of customizable text, headers, or space within your form. By default, Email is required for a form submission to generate a contact, and Company name is required to generate a company. We verify the validity of an email address before allowing submissions. Additionally, company details are automatically captured when a company is selected from Google-powered search boxes in the company name field. To add a form field: In the “Build” tab, use the search bar to find an existing contact or company field that you would like to collect from your visitor and drag and drop the field into the main panel. Repeat and add all the contact and company fields you would like to collect from your web visitors. Editing a form field: There are a few different settings you can have on each form field For all field types You can set a default value, which will be submitted when the user submits an empty field. You can mark the field as required, and the user can’t submit the form without filling in the required field. You can make the field hidden, so users won’t see the field and can’t edit it when they fill out the form. You can also populate the specific form field dynamically, which will take the query parameter from the URL to fill in the field. For example, if you have a form that’s put on this link: https://www.example.com/form?campaign=spring-promotion If you put “campaign” on this setting, it will pre-fill the form field with “spring-promotion” when the user submits the form. For the string field You can switch it to an open text field, drop-down, or provide a radio button option Styling the form In the “Design” tab, you can style the form’s container, font, and button. Embedding the form In the upper right corner, Click “Embed”. In the “Embed Form” pop-up, click “Copy Code”. Paste it on the website you want to embed the form on as a HTML snippet. Use automation with forms For any contact and company created from form submission, they will have their record source captured as “Form”. With this, you can leverage automation to automate different processes, including generating a Snapshot Report, sending a follow-up email, adding them to a drip campaign, or creating sales task. Here are two automation templates that you can get started with: Create a Snapshot Report when a form is submitted. Send a follow-up email when a form is submitted. Spam prevention You can set up reCAPTCHA in the form to prevent Spam. In the form builder, under “Setting”, you can find a section called “reCAPTCHA settings”, and it will be set up automatically after you generate the site key and secret key. The generation process takes several minutes and you can learn how to generate your site key and a secret key for free here.

When creating a Snapshot Report for a prospect, the Reputation Management trial will be activated. This allows your prospects with access to Business App the ability to work in Reputation Management unrestricted for seven days after the Snapshot Report has been created. Once the trial has expired, Business App users will still have access to a limited version of Reputation Management. This will allow them to view any data that had been entered previously, but Reputation Management will not check for changes to listings, look for new listings, or pull in any new reviews. This feature can be toggled on or off via the "Allow users to access 7-day trial and limited preview" option in Administration > Customize > General Product Settings > Reputation Management section within Partner Center.   With the feature toggled on anyone with access to Business App will be able to interact with the trial version of Reputation Management, and if the feature is toggled off Reputation Management will not appear.

Submitting the proper Taxonomy ID will help ensure that the sources add the business’ listing to the proper category within their site. This ultimately allows users to easily find their business listings. Avoid selecting ‘other’ as a business category as some sources do not support this category type and this may result in the business not being found on unsupported listing sources.  The listing recognize certain business categories and a mismatch in business categories will result in syncing incompatibility with the listing sources. It is also important for competitor analysis in the Snapshot report. If competitors selected for comparison have different business categories, it will not provide the analysis.

Whenever a prospect has had either customer or sales activity, their account will be highlighted in Sales & Success Center with a red dot until the assigned salesperson views that activity—similar to an unread email. When an activity is unread, a red dot will appear beside the account.   Recent activity can also be triggered by the following: Sales action: Replied by email Email sent Email received Inbound call Outbound call Meeting Opportunity created/ won/ lost/ updated Archived business Unarchived business Opportunity reopened Snapshot creation Account created Submitted for customer approval Inbound message Quote accepted Meeting booked/ rescheduled/canceled Customer actions: Email, Sent, Received, Opened, Bounced, Clicked Connection of account in Business App: Facebook, Google Business Profile Business App activity Updated business profile Click contact sales and send a message when viewing a product/package Asked a question through the contact us box NOTE: You must be logged in as the salesperson assigned to the account in order to automatically mark an activity as read. In other words, when you impersonate a salesperson via Partner Center, viewing an account will not automatically mark its activity as read.
