Task Description 1. [FA Name] – [Firm] = 1 contact
2. [FA 1 & FA 2] – [Firm] = 2 contacts

Existing? To verify if the activity is existing on the calendar:
1. Tick check on the existing field.
2. Wait until the magnifying glass appears.
3. Input the dictated date and Owner name. If no date was dictated, input the received date of the recording.
(BEST PRACTICE is to also check the previous dates.)
4. If no match found, untick the existing, then proceed on the Date field.
5. If you found an existing activity, click on the found activity and wait for it to be highlighted in yellow.
Proceed on Time field.

What to look for an existing activity: Contact (Should be in Who.Name or in Subject)

If the existing activity cannot be used for some reason—Copy time and date of the recording

Cases where existing can’t be used:
-Existing activity have extra contacts that are not present in the meeting note.
-Contact in the “Who.Name” is not reflecting in the Contact field. Usually leads to an error when entering.
-Existing activity has multiple contacts but the meeting note only refers to a single contact of that activity, or has a separate meeting notes for each of those contacts.
-Error on entry

Special Instructions Put here any special instructions to take note from the wholesaler.
Internal Comments Put here additional information that will help with processing the note.

BEST PRACTICE is to put the contact name found on FINRA here to check for spelling errors.

Note Timezone Skip
Group Check this box if the note has more than one contacts.
Follow-up Skip
Date Time Start New Activity: As dictated. Use the received date in DANA if none.

Existing Activity: Should be the same on the highlighted activity.

New Activity: Leave blank if none dictated. Use the following time for:
(a) Breakfast 8:00 AM
(b) Lunch 12:00 PM
(c) Dinner/Happy hour 6:00 PM
(d) After-market hour 4:00 PM

Existing Activity: Check the Start Date Time of the highlighted activity and use that for the time.
Make sure to check timezone is exactly the same as well.
Leaving the time field blank will automatically change the time of the existing activity to 8:00 AM ET.

Date Time Finish As dictated.

Can be populated if Date Time Start is provided or found in existing, and meeting duration is provided. (Just add Time Start and meeting duration)

Contact New Activity: Input the details dictated by the wholesaler.
• Please note that it’s best to search for the correct name in FINRA before proceeding to the search of Contact.
• Check mark indicates that you are searching for the other possible matches of the name, e.g. Input “Dav” and search will provide matches as David, Dave, Davies, etc.
• Untick the check mark if certain with the name. Mostly used with the advisor’s last name.
• State – Use abbreviation (Untick the check mark)

Existing Activity: Check highlighted activity if Who.Name field is populated. Proceed with the search if BLANK.
• Leave as is if populated or add other attendees if necessary.
• In most cases, if the existing has a Who.Name and the name is not reflecting in this field, most likely it will result to an error when entered. Best practice for this cases is to treat it as new activity but copy the time from the existing activity then put in IC, “Can’t overwrite—copied date and time.”

Same Follow-up Skip
Type • Scheduled Meeting: Default, in-person meetings, one-on-ones
• Virtual Meeting: Zoom, Gmeet, and Teams meetings
• Drop In: Wholesaler went to the FA’s office to drop by, drop off some brochures, etc. (Usually specified by WS)
• Meaningful Call: Completed phone calls, Email, Voicemail (when WS says “Spoke with”/”Convesation with” and there’s no implication of it being a virtual or in-person, the default is call)
• Group Meeting: Meetings with multiple advisors (only use for 3 or more FA’s).

In some cases for 3 or more FA’s, Scheduled Meeting can be more fitting as type rather than Group Meeting (Context based).

Primary Contact Name (for existing meet search) For existing meeting search purposes only
Is All Day As dictated
Subject Existing Activity: Copy subject found on the highlighted activity.

New Activity default:
Meeting with [FA Name]
Meeting with [FA 1 and FA 2] – 2 FA’s
Meeting with [FA 1 and Others] – 3 or more FA’s (if from different firms)
Meeting with [Firm Name] — 3 or more FA’s of same firm

If there’s a better fitting subject than the default (based on note context), it can be used.

Default Examples for other cases:
Call with [FA Name] – Meaningful Call
Outbound Call with [FA name] – Meaningful Call and dictated as “Outbound Call”
Inbound Call with [FA name] – Meaningful Call and dictated as “Inbound Call”
Email for [FA Name] – implied as an Email to FA
Virtual Meeting with [FA Name] – Virtual Meeting or dictated as “Zoom Call”, “Teams meeting”, etc.
Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner/Happy Hour with [FA Name] – If time assumption is implied and dictated
Breakfast Meeting/Lunch Meeting/Dinner Meeting/Happy Hour Meeting with [FA Name] – If dictated as “Breakfast Meeting” / ”Lunch Meeting” / ”Dinner Meeting” / ”Happy Hour Meeting”

Subject is not strictly bound to these defaults. If subject used is different from these defaults, use IC it is different from the default.

Location Location of the meeting, e.g. name of the restaurant
Description (Meeting) Clean verbatim transcription

IMPORTANT: Please make sure to also save a copy of the meeting notes for Contact Management by creating a contact management note.

Extra notes:
-”One-on-one” should be included if dictated, specially if meeting note has multiple contacts.
-Even if the first sentence is somehow similar to the subject used, include it in the note. Example: Breakfast with [FA] / Meeting with [FA].
-If a list of multiple attendees is dictated, they can be omitted from the note and be listed in SI instead. This is due to the difficulty of editing notes for each contact when one or more contact of that list is hard to decipher or confirm.

Product
Required field.

Tag product/s mentioned in the meeting notes.

If no products mentioned = select “–No Product—”

Competitors

**CHECK ‘Locorr Products and Competitors’ tab here to see which competitor products can be tagged correspondingly to Locorr products.

If competitor mentioned is not correspondent to Locorr product mentioned = leave it in meeting notes then select “–No Competitor—”

If competitor mentioned is not in the options = leave it in meeting notes then select “–No Competitor—”

If no competitor products mentioned = select “–No Competitor–”
