UPDATE YOUR RECORDS!

SOP PW
Please take note of the new code to enter the PWP (pw protected) SOP guide sections: Str0ngTe@m!

New Contacts
Please update your records with the new HQ mailing address below. Send all invoice payments, event materials (waivers/evals), and treats for Amanda :) This is in the SOP as well.

HQ Mailing Address 
StrongFirst, Inc.
2215 W. 30th Ave.
Denver, CO 80211

Please update your contact list to the email addresses below:
  1. invoicing@strongfirst.com—for invoicing and event financial reports.
  2. brett.jones@strongfirst.com—for accredited gym matters.

To get you to the right person/department, and keep communications efficient, please use the Communications Directory when sending emails. Please be mindful of times zones as HQ is located globally.

Official communication/questions must be presented with these channels:
  • Email—all correspondence will be sent via Strongfirst’s business email address.
  • GoToMeeting—all meetings and calls. Schedule via Calendly.
HQ makes themselves as available as they can (during business hours). Please do so as well. If we cannot connect with one another then it's difficult to complete projects, solve issues, and keep things moving forward. 

NDA and Intellectual Property

IMPORTANT: HQ needs to know who is accessing StrongFirst's intellectual property. As a Licensee, if you wish for another person in your company to have access permission, the additional person must be a signer on your licensing agreement page. Otherwise, materials and information will only be accessible by the Licensee who signed the agreement. Email admin@ to have your additional person(s) sent the signature page to sign.

Email Disclaimer
We've added a disclaimer back to our HQ emails. The sharing of emails and addition of parties outside the original recipients is not permitted without their permission first. This ties in with the above statement. This was included to protect all Licensees and HQ with our email discussions. We take this seriously.

Point of Contact
HQ needs to know who the Licensee's main Point of Contact (POC) is to better maintain communications history. If there is only one person signed on the Licensee's agreement this will be the default person HQ will consider the main POC.

Event Management

New Events Publish Timing
To have a rhythm for coordinating with Marketing, events received by Thursday (by 5pm MT) will be published on the website by the following Tuesday, and listed in that week's Newsletter.

Event Language
As we are growing around the globe, more questions about what language the event will be taught are coming in. Please add this detail when sending in your new events for review/listing. "This Certification will be taught in [enter language(s)]."

Approval/Review of Events
Please read and preview your events prior to sending to admin@ for approval. Send the event URL and all details needed for publishing to prevent delays. If your account is not in good standing financially, no new events will be approved.

Certification Event Reports
There are two student data report template versions (for Eventbrite and other registration platforms). Please Please Please use these templates. It saves an exorbitant amount of time to upload to the database. Clean up your reports to help save more time (no duplicate emails, all data added to columns, proper title case). Please let me know if you have questions about this. Find templates in SOP 10.4.9 Post-Cert Administration.

Course & Special Events Student Data Reports
Templates have been created for Licensees to send in student data for Courses and Special Events. Find each in SOP 9.4.7 Post-Course Administration.
  • Those using Eventbrite, you can select the same fields to match the template headers, and export the event attendee report. Those using an alternative registration system, please add your student data to the template report outlined in the SOP.
  • For Special Events: there are recertification columns for each certification modality to record those who've recertified and their renew expiration date. Find templates in Cert SOP 10.8 Special Event—Student Data Reporting.
Please send student data reports to admin@ at the event conclusion.
