Training Partner Terms of Service


Schedule – Training Partners

This schedule establishes the standards, expectations, and compensation structure for Fergus’ Training Partners delivering complementary Power Hour sessions to new Fergus customers. All training partners must adhere to these guidelines to drive exceptional customer experience and successful Fergus adoption, with an expectation that this will also drive additional success for training partners in their own businesses.

Program Overview

Power Hour Objectives

Within Fergus we view the new customer journey as fitting, broadly, into 3 stages:

  1. New account setup
  2. Customer trained on how to use the platform
  3. Customer starting to use it and receiving value

The intent of a Power Hour is to complete stage 2.

Customer Success Objectives

Every new Fergus customer should achieve the following before 30 days after the day of their power hour session.

  • Send 3 invoices from jobs where costs are recorded against the jobThis metric is demonstrably critical to customer success and long-term platform adoption. Partners play a vital role in assisting customers in achieving these milestones during their Power Hour session.

Customer Allocation

Fergus will allocate power hours to training partners based on assessment of the optimal outcome for the customer, the partner and Fergus, taking into consideration amongst other factors:

  • Customer availability constraints
  • Geographic location preferences
  • Specific partner expertise matching customer needs
  • Historic partner performance

Power Hour Session Standards

Sessions

  • Duration: 60 minutes
  • Format: One-on-one video conference with screen sharing capabilities
  • Agenda: Include session agenda and preparation instructions in booking confirmations at least 24 hours prior to the power hour
  • Follow-up: Follow up email with personalised next steps sent to the customer within 24 hours
  • All customer emails regarding Power Hour sessions and follow-up must CC: training@fergus.com
  • Reminders: Confirm session details with customer 24 hours in advance, plus automated same-day email reminders

Systems 

  • Booking: Power hours can be booked through the booking system (e.g. calendly) of a partner’s choice, however training@fergus.com must be included in the event to provide Fergus visibility on booking dates, reschedules, cancellations etc
  • Recording: Mandatory audio and video recording using approved tools (Fathom, Zoom, or equivalent), and shared with Fergus within 24 hours through the TripleSession system. Fergus reserves the right to review any session recording and regular quality audits will be conducted to ensure consistency. Consistent quality issues may result in additional training or contract review. Recordings used solely for quality assurance and training purposes and recordings will be treated as confidential customer information
  • Cancellations / no-shows: While cancellations and no-shows are unfortunate, they are ultimately a part of any job involving working with external customers. The expectation is that partners will follow these up within 2 hours of the cancellation / no-show and make meaningful attempts to reschedule. If, after several reschedule attempts have been made, it has not been possible to do so then the customer can be handed back to Fergus to continue to attempt to reschedule, however Fergus cannot guarantee that they will be rescheduled with the same training partner as their original booking

Core Session Content 

It’s important to provide customers with the training that they need, not simply an

identical scripted basic session that doesn’t meet a lot of specific customer needs.

Must-cover topics to achieve customer success objectives:

  1. Job creation
    1. Setup and costing
    2. Quoting, if relevant
    3. Ideally with an actual job that they have – if not (and FB enabled) then can use Fergus Coffee offer

  2. Scheduling

  3. How to cost track labour & material against the job phase

  4. Invoicing the job
    1. Optional: Customer to invoice Fergus $20 (for a drink) if FergusPay is enabled

5.     Next steps

  1. Clear action plan for at least 3 invoices within 30 days

 

Partner Certification

To become a Training Partner, certification with Fergus through a Training Partner Certification program will be required – involving the completion of an online learning course. Any employee of a training partner who is going to be providing power hours will be required to also go through this certification.

There will also be an expectation of annual re-certification to ensure that power hour providers stay up to date with Fergus functionality and best practices and are able to continue to provide the required level of service to Fergus customers.

Should training partners desire further training, Fergus will provide this, within the bounds of reason, and the certification program itself will be one that we continue to iterate on and training partner feedback on the program will be key to ensure that it is fit for purpose.
