Partner’s Network

ConvergeHub understands that sharing and collaboration of important leads, contacts and docs is a part and parcel of every business. And so, it has given this exclusive benefit to all its users. ConvergeHub clients do not have to separately share the information through an email. They can share their business leads, contacts and documents to external party clients (who may or may not be ConvergeHub users) through the CRM itself.

How to refer a lead/contact?
convergehub

  • The option of refer pops up on placing the cursor on the concerned lead/contact.

  • The user needs to further click on convergehub to complete the process of referring lead/contact to a 3rd party associate. On clicking convergehub, a new section pops up containing the fields such as Refer To and Message (see the below screenshot). After filling in the required data, the user needs to click on convergehub for the last time.

    Note: Documents can be shared with external party clients through Collaboration. Please check Collaboration section (under the Library module) to know the exact steps.

Accessing the Partner’s Network

When the ConvergeHub user refers a lead/contact/business document, the invitee will receive an invitation e-mail. If the invitee is an existing ConvergeHub user, he/she can log into ConvergeHub and can view:

  • Referred lead/contact under the Tools section.

If the invitee is not a user of ConvergeHub, he/she needs to register in ConvergeHub to access the referred information. (The registration is free.) Post the registration done, the invitee can access ConvergeHub with a similar user interface but with limited features.The ConvergeHub account accessed by a non-ConvergeHub user is referred to as Partner’s Network.
