Objective

To properly guide clients through upgrading their plan while ensuring accurate billing, clear communication, and correct system updates.

Step 1: Verify Payment Status

Check if the client has already paid for the current month.

Step 2: Determine Upgrade Pricing

Step 3: Explain to Client

Clearly explain: upfront charge, new monthly rate, and when billing will start. Confirm client approval before proceeding.

Step 4: Important Reminders

  • Avoid confusion by explaining charges clearly
  • If unsure, coordinate with the Billing Team
  • Inform Billing of any adjustments made
  • Add a GHL note after completing the upgrade
