Treehouse Meeting #21

In this meeting, we explored the intriguing and powerful concept of ‘Success Partners’ for your business growth - with special guests Barry Alt @ Motorhead Digital (https://www.motorheaddigital.com/) and Laura Sutherly @ Agtivation (https://www.agtivation.com/) presenting “How To Find Success With Success Partners”. Both Barry and Laura have been in business for over 23+ years, long time BC partners (over 12 year each) and now Treepl partners since the partner program started.

Barry and Laura will discuss:

● How having a Success Partner is 100X better than an Accountability Partner.
● How we started and what we’ve built together that has helped us grow separate niche-based marketing agencies.
● How what we’re doing can save you time, money and reduce stress.

Thanks, @Barry_Alt and Laura for this great presentation and discussion around the practical application of a Success Partner (a step up from an Accountability Partner).

Regarding the emergency contact. It’s a great idea. Could provide some assurance to clients.

I think this needs to kick-in in an automated way. How else would it kick in? It would be an awful task for the Treepl team to have to evaluate when it’s legitimate.
My suggestion would be that there is an option to have an email goes out to the emergency contact after the partner hasn’t logged into the portal for a certain period of time that each partner can set. At that point the emergency contact would get access to the account and authority to manage that site and could potentially move it to their own account, or at least out of the partner’s account. It would also be good to have the option to allow this contact to get admin access if they request it, even if a certain time hasn’t passed, so that the Treepl team could help setup access and know that it’s legitimate.

It would also be good to have the option to have an email go out to a technical contact who would be able to support clients in the case of an emergency. They would have admin privileges potentially, but not the partner level privileges. I imagine this might be another partner(s) or Treepl developer potentially.

Those are my thoughts.

Hello. I would like to share with you the new design for Emergency Settings in the Partner Portal. If you have any suggestions about functionality, please share your feedback. https://invis.io/FB111R70G87W

@Alex_B_Centrifuge Concerning your suggestion to send an email to the emergency contact after the partner hasn’t logged into the portal for a certain period of time - I’m afraid there are users with a few sites that migrated them to Treepl and in most cases won’t be visiting Treepl Portal/site admin much/at all.

We’ll be providing access on request: once we receive a complaint from the site owner that they are unable to get in touch with their partner, we’ll be reviewing the emergency contacts.

Thanks for sharing the design @yulia.a

@yulia.a There could be a system where emails are sent out to the partner when they near the end of the period they set for their emergency contact to be notified. I.e. if the emergency login period was 1 year, then and email would be sent out, notifying them that if they don’t login their emergency contact will be given access. The schedule could be 3 month, 2 month, 1 month, 3 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week, 1 day before the emergency contact is notified. Most partners who don’t regularly log in could just quickly login to the portal and reset the notification period for… let’s say another year or whatever time they set.

Also @yulia.a I suggest that if you’re looking for broader feedback on this topic/design that it should become it’s own thread.

I think it would be better to make this a seperate post with a heading, rather than a reply to an old post. Might get more visability.
