# Enterprise: Managing On-Boarding Projects

## A quick reference guide for Enterprise Product Specialists managing multi-stage client builds from intake through launch and optimization.

### **Managing Enterprise On-Boarding Projects**

#### **Overview**

Enterprise On-Boarding Projects manage the multi-stage build process for new enterprise clients. Unlike other departments, Enterprise Product Specialists handle multiple build stages (typically 2-3) and manage optimization projects concurrently after the first stage launches.

**Key Difference:** You'll work on onboarding AND optimization at the same time once Stage 1 goes live.

---

#### **How On-Boarding Projects Are Created**

Your onboarding project is automatically created during order entry—you don't create it manually. It arrives in your queue already associated with:

- The Service record for this build
- The Company record for your client
- The original Onboarding ticket

---

#### **Pipeline Stages**

Your project moves through these stages:

1. **Intake** – Initial audit and strategy discussion
2. **Build in Progress** – Active campaign building
3. **Build Review** – Team Lead review and approval
4. **Build Completed** – Stage ready for launch
5. **Onboarding Completed** – All stages complete

**Important:** For multi-stage builds, you'll cycle through stages 2-4 multiple times (once per stage) before reaching final completion.

---

#### **Stage 1: Intake**

You'll receive two tasks in the Intake stage:

**1. Perform Pre-Intake Audit**

- Review the client's account before the intake call
- Identify important items for AM to discuss with client

**2. Meet with Account Manager to Discuss Build Strategy**

- Schedule after the AM completes the intake call
- Discuss build strategy and priorities
- **When you mark this task complete, the project automatically moves to Build in Progress**

---

#### **Stage 2: Build in Progress**

### **Your Build Tasks**

When you complete the AM meeting task, new build stage tasks generate automatically (you may need to refresh to see them):

- Audit and confirm account settings
- Research and plan build strategy
- Implement campaigns
- Implement account attribution

**Due Dates:** Tasks default to 5 business days from creation.

**How to Manage Tasks:** Complete them progressively as you work, or batch-complete them all when your build is done—your choice.

### **Submitting for Review**

Once all build tasks are complete, a new task appears: **Complete and Submit Build Notes**.

**To submit your build:**

1. Fill out your Build Review Google Sheet as normal
2. Add the sheet link as a note in the project's activity feed
3. Mark "Complete and Submit Build Notes" task as complete
4. **Update "Build Review Status" property from blank to "Build Submitted for Review"**

This triggers the pipeline to move to Build Review and notifies your Team Lead.

---

### **Stage 3: Build Review**

Your Team Lead reviews your build and updates "Build Review Status" to one of three outcomes:

#### **Build Changes Needed – Not Approved**

- You receive a task to implement revisions
- Project stays in Build Review stage
- Make changes and resubmit by updating status back to "Build Submitted for Review"

#### **Build Changes Suggested – Approved**

- You receive a task to review optional suggestions
- Pipeline moves to Build Completed
- AM can launch these campaigns
- Implement suggestions on your timeline

#### **No Further Changes or Suggestions – Approved**

- Pipeline moves immediately to Build Completed
- AM can launch campaigns
- No additional tasks created

For more details on the Build Review process, see the separate "Managing Build Reviews in HubSpot" article.

---

### **Stage 4: Build Completed**

Build Completed means this stage is ready for the AM to launch with the client—but you're not done building yet.

#### **Moving to Your Next Stage**

After Stage 1 is approved:

1. Locate the **"Stage to Build Status"** field on the project
2. Change it from "Build Stage 1" to "Build Stage 2"
3. Mark the "Update Stage Launch Status" task complete

**What happens:**

- Pipeline moves back to Build in Progress
- Build Review Status clears (resets to blank)
- New build stage tasks generate with 5-day due dates
- You begin the cycle again for Stage 2

**For Stage 3:** Repeat the same process, changing "Stage to Build Status" from "Build Stage 2" to "Build Stage 3"

#### **Completing Your Final Stage**

After your last stage is approved and ready to launch, update **"Stage to Build Status" to "Stage Build Completed"**

This moves the pipeline to Onboarding Completed and closes the project.

---

### **When Optimization Begins**

**Optimization doesn't wait for all stages to complete—it starts after Stage 1 launches.**

After your Stage 1 is approved, the AM will:

1. Launch Stage 1 campaigns with the client
2. Update "Enterprise Staged Launch" field on the **Service record** to "Stage Launch 1"
3. This automatically creates your Optimization Project

**Your signal:** You'll receive a task from the new optimization project indicating Stage 1 campaigns are live and ready for optimization.

**Managing Both:** While you're building Stage 2 or 3, you'll simultaneously be optimizing Stage 1 campaigns. This is unique to the Enterprise workflow.

---

### **Stage 5: Onboarding Completed**

Once your project reaches Onboarding Completed, it's closed. You don't interact with it for day-to-day work—you're now fully managing the account through optimization projects.

The closed project remains accessible for reference if needed.

---

### **Critical Fields Reference**

#### **Pipeline Stage** (System-Managed)

Shows your current workflow stage. Updates automatically—you don't change this directly.

#### **Build Review Status** (Your Action Required)

Controls the review process:

- Blank = No review in progress
- **Build Submitted for Review** = You've submitted (this moves pipeline to Build Review)
- **Build Changes Needed - Not Approved** = Revisions required
- **Build Changes Suggested - Approved** = Optional suggestions provided
- **No Further Changes or Suggestions - Approved** = Fully approved

**Resets to blank each time you start a new build stage.**

#### **Stage to Build Status** (Your Action Required)

Tracks which stage you're working on:

- Build Stage 1
- Build Stage 2
- Build Stage 3
- Stage Build Completed

**Change this field to move between stages.** It triggers the creation of new build tasks and returns the pipeline to Build in Progress.

#### **Enterprise Staged Launch** (AM Manages)

Shows which stages the AM has launched with the client:

- Stage Launch 1 = Creates your optimization project
- Stage Launch 2 = Second stage live
- Stage Launch 3 = Third stage live

---

### **Quick Navigation Tips**

**From Customer Success Dashboard:**

- Filter by "Onboarding" projects
- Click project name to open

**From Company Record:**

- Navigate to Projects section
- All associated projects appear here

**From Service Record:**

- Find associated onboarding project in Projects section
- Click to open

**Using Service Bridge Navigation:** Projects connect to Services which connect to Companies—this creates a two-click path to related records.

---

### **Common Questions**

**Q: When do I start optimizing?**

A: After Stage 1 launches. You'll receive an optimization project task indicating campaigns are live.

**Q: How do I know which stage I'm on?**

A: Check the "Stage to Build Status" field on your project.

**Q: Do I need to create a new project for each stage?**

A: No. You use the same onboarding project and cycle through the stages by updating the "Stage to Build Status" field.

**Q: What if my Team Lead requests changes?**

A: Implement the revisions, update your build sheet, and resubmit by changing "Build Review Status" back to "Build Submitted for Review."

**Q: How do I close the onboarding project?**

A: After your final stage is approved, update "Stage to Build Status" to "Stage Build Completed." This automatically closes the project.
