Customer Spotlight

Congratulations to our 2023 Vanty Award Winner: Trident Management 

Trident Management has reimagined their client onboarding process with the introduction of the "New Association Welcome Letter." This action item transforms the conventional welcome letter into a dynamic drip campaign, beginning with a traditional letter sent through both mail and email. The initial correspondence is enriched with informative infographics that guide new clients on how to sett up payments. The campaign then evolves into an automated series of videos, specifically designed for homeowners and board members. These videos serve as explainer guides for navigating the homeowner portal.  

Trident has found that this strategic approach not only streamlines the onboarding process but also significantly enhances client engagement, encouraging owners and board members to actively utilize the portal. Trident believes this method fosters a stronger commitment to using the portal, ensuring a smoother transition for their new clients.
