When selling a membership, there are several steps you can take to ensure the successful sale of a membership.
Membership sales workflow
Steps to selling a membership | What happens when there are add-ons? |
---|---|
Step One: Invoice the customer for the new membership When the membership sells, you’ll invoice the customer using the membership sale task from the Pricebook. | Add-on charges will be rolled into the membership price.
|
Step Two: Review & book the customer’s recurring service events You can access a customer’s membership immediately once it’s been sold. Here are two common ways to look up a customer's recurring service events:
| Add-on services will automatically appear on the membership.
|
Step Three: Attach installed equipment to the recurring services It is a best practice to have a record of every installed equipment item at the service location.

Step Four: Process membership billing If the membership has recurring billing, the billing settings will automatically populate in the customer’s membership. You can always change the next bill date and other billing settings if necessary.

|
Step Five: Renew the membership You can use the Expiring Memberships tab on the Follow up screen to generate renewal estimates, then follow up and sell membership renewals. You can change the membership renewal option, if the customer decides to upgrade (or downgrade) the membership. | Add-ons will automatically appear on the membership renewal estimate. |
Only membership task is allowed on a membership billing invoice.
In order for the above add-on processes to work, add-on setup is required.
