Super Portal Class: Sphere Nurture
May 2025 Super Portal Class that focuses on sending gifts through Sphere Nurture
Setting Up for Spear Nurture Gifting
Getting Started
- Create a Test Account: Great for exploring features and previewing the client experience.
- Super Portal Access Points:
- Widget within Follow Up Boss (FUB)
- Full Portal via app.bramlettpartners.com
Required Setup for Automated Gifting
To automate gifting, a contact must:
- Be rated (e.g., A+, A, B)
- Have an event in the system (e.g., birthday, closing anniversary)
- Have a mailing address
- Have your gift preferences set
Once this is complete, gifts are sent automatically each year.
Adding Relationships, Ratings & Events
Ratings & Relationships
- Assign a rating from the Super Portal widget
- Ratings auto-apply to relationships (significant other, kids, pets)
- A tag is also added for smart list filtering in FUB
Adding Events
- Use the + button next to individuals for quick event creation
- Customize messages for birthdays and anniversaries
- Birthdays apply to individuals; home anniversaries apply to the household
- Optionally add the year for age tracking (especially helpful for children)
Birthday vs. Home Purchase Anniversary
- Birthday Gifts: Sent to the individual
- Closing Anniversary Gifts: Addressed to the entire household
**Choose event type (buyer/seller); seller events rarely require gifts
Mailing Address Sync
- First address in FUB automatically syncs as mailing address
- No gift is sent without a valid mailing address—even if all other settings are correct
Accessing the Full Super Portal
- Via Client Profile: Click the purple Super Portal button
- Direct Access: app.bramlettpartners.com
- Full portal lets you manage events, view reports, set preferences, etc.
Setting Gift Preferences
Where to Set
- Click your name (top right) > View Profile
- Subscribe to company defaults or set your own preferences
Company Defaults (as of now)
- Birthdays (A+/A): Bon Vivant Birthday Box
- Closing Anniversaries (A+/A Buyers): Tiff's Treats Mix
Creating Agent Defaults
- Click "Add Agent Default" under each category
- Customize gifts for each rating tier (A+, A, etc.)
Gift Vendor Overview
Vendor | Notes |
---|---|
Austin Cakeballs | Highly rated, local favorite, expensive shipping outside Austin due to ice packs |
Tiff's Treats | Availability varies by city; check delivery zones on their website |
Bon Vivant | USPS shipping, non-perishable, ideal for out-of-state clients and children’s gifts |
Tip: Use Bon Vivant for universal reach and child-friendly options.
Customizing Individual Gifts
- Click Reports > Event
- Filter by agent and time range (e.g., "Next Month")
- Remove "No Gift" entries if needed
- Click on an event to manually override the gift
Use this for gluten-free clients, kids, pets, etc.
Budgeting & Reporting
Use Reports > Event to export CSVs by timeframe
Filter by vendor, event type, gift recipient
Check gift costs manually:
- Bon Vivant includes shipping
- Tiff's & Cakeballs have shipping charges that vary
Monthly Workflow
- On the 10th: Agents receive an email to audit next month's gifts
- On the 15th: Admin sends vendor reports for the next month
- Run your audit: go to Reports > Event > Next Month > All Gifts
Adding Events via Full Super Portal
- Go to a client’s page > "Events" tab
- Click "Create Event"
- Choose event type (Birthday = individual, Anniversary = household)
- Add address tags if needed (e.g., investment, homestead)
Gifting to Out-of-Area or Investor Clients
- Bon Vivant is ideal (non-perishable, USPS)
- Austin Cakeballs: High shipping costs outside of Austin
- Tiff's: Confirm local availability via their site
Managing Duplicate/Merged Client Data
- Merged clients: Share household event visibility
- Avoid duplication: assign home purchase anniversary to one person if unmerged
- If merging: always merge into the profile with more data
Search & CMA Management
Duplicating Searches
- Go to search tab in client profile
- Click yellow copy icon
- Choose new client > rename > save
Why This Matters
- Use if clients are not merged
- Enables shared search logic without redoing criteria
CMA Clarification
- Properties unselected during CMA creation still show in preview
- Only published CMAs exclude unselected data
- Unselected listings are not included in stats or client view
Pro Tips
- Use monthly reports to audit gifts for accuracy (e.g., pets, duplicates)
- Customize messages sparingly (avoid referencing specific ages unless updating yearly)
- Keep relationship data clean—this helps prevent duplicate gifts and confusion
- Merge carefully and plan ahead to preserve client data
