Add a New Customer to an Existing Company

To ADD a NEW CUSTOMER to an EXISTING COMPANY there are two options.

Quick Reference Page Contents:

 

OPTION 1: (use only if you have used the Search / Lookup page for the company and have the correct company result displayed)

  1. In the Search / Lookup page (FAQ: How do I search for a customer on the Search / Lookup a customer?) you would have already searched for the company.
  2. Place a tick in the check-box of the correct company the New Customer is part of.


  3. Click on the Add Customer button



  4. Fill in all the related customer details. Where a * is displayed, this means it is a required field and is required.
    1. The phone number fields are divided into two parts. One is for the Contact (customer's) phone numbers. The Other is specific to the Company phone numbers.
    2. Always try to obtain the mobile number of a customer.  If not press the n/a checkbox.
    3. Always enter an email address.  This is very important and is required to create an account.  An Account should not ever have an empty work email address and you can inform the customer that to create an account we do require the best email address.  If they refuse press the n/a.
      1. If the ERM system informs you that there is another account with the same email address, click on the link and check if that email address belongs to the right customer.  If not seek assistance from @eventmanagers or press n/a and try to obtain the email at a later time when you call the customer.
    4. Mobile phone numbers and email addresses are important data for the company and the accounts.  We always try to get these details.
  5. Check that the correct company name is displayed in the Company section with the Existing Company button selected.

    IMPORTANT: if the company name is not correct.  Click the Cancel button and try again or use Option 2.
