One of our core values at Pomona Partners is transparency, and that is the driving idea behind the new dashboard you should now see when you log in to the platform.
We always intended your first view of the platform to be a single view of your speaking career. But we could only make that real once the platform contained enough data to be useful. We're now reaching that point.
Be aware, this is still somewhat experimental and as of right now (2pm on the 12th December), not everything is working correctly. We're also still quite data-light for a lot of you. But we hope seeing the dashboard will prompt you to add more information, as well as keeping you informed about the work we're doing on your behalf.
Here's what you will see when you log in:
We are now sharing with you a summary view of the enquiries we are handling on your behalf, their status and value, and the annual and life time value of deals as well. This will only count for data added after our CRM switchover in September, and even then, it took a few weeks for us to iron out all the data bugs, so don't be surprised if this doesn't look quite right yet.
That said, it will show nothing for a lot of people for a while. Remember, the majority of leads that we handle come from you, not us. We're here to maximise your value from them, negotiating you an appropriate fee, protecting you with solid contracts, and handling all the follow-up activity. So make sure you're taking advantage of your agent's negotiating expertise and putting your leads through them.
Our training library is now incredibly rich and we are adding new material to it all the time. Here you will see the latest articles, adding one more way for you to discover the additional value you get from Pomona Partners. Remember you can also find links to relevant articles by updating your Talent Map, where your weaknesses are connected directly to training materials to help you overcome them. And you can simply search the library as well.
The Barometer is a figure we put out each month to give you a sense of how you are performing versus the market. Think of it as a stock market ticker for the success of Pomona Partners' roster. It aggregates a number of key indicators - the number of enquiries we get each month, the percentage of those that convert into business, and the value of those conversions - into a single number that we can track year on year. It's another example of us putting our value of Transparency into action.
Here you will find the latest blog posts from the Pomona Partners team. Announcements, summaries, and useful information that is perhaps too timebound to form part of the training library. You should also receive most of these via email.
This widget shows a summary of your Talent Map scores. Don't forget to keep your Talent Map updates. It's your guide to advancing your speaking career, always helping you to focus on the highest priorities that will help you get more gigs, higher fees, and better feedback. And it's the best way to navigate the training library, always directing you to the most important sections for you to read.
