Get Started With Your Client
To use Pro Guides with your client:
- Use your free Vault account to do activities in Pro Sessions.
- Have your client use their own Vault account (they should not use Pro Sessions!). If your client doesn’t already have a Vault account, show them how to get one.
- Ask your client to Make a Communication Profile in their Vault and share it with you. They can skip the questions they don’t want to answer. If your client does not have a Vault account, you can do this in a Pro Session.
- Help your client Build a Housing Team in the Vault. It is best for your client to do this activity in their own account, because it is based on their Vault contacts. Then, ask them to share their team with you.
