ONBOARDING GUIDE

Hello &Welcome

Danielle !

Understanding This Service Guide

We are SO excited to have you part of the CBSR Murfreesboro team! This is your onboarding book, which has information, website and tools and some additional notes that we hope will be very helpful to you! If you have any trouble, let us know and we will work to get it fixed. I've also included our onboarding checklist, department & office contact information and instructions on obtaining access to our Urban office via the Keypad.

Thank you for sending your Headshot and Bio, the company would like to get to know you a little better!

I have also added you to our Google Groups - this is for when we send an email to all agents or just to your specific office. Sometimes, these tend to go to spam. If you look in your inbox or spam, you should see where I added you to "Best in Blue" (all agents) and the "Murfreesboro" (office group). Make sure these are moved to your inbox so you are sure to not miss out on any emails that might go out! Don't worry, we won't spam you every minute and you should not receive any spam emails!
