# What your onboarding and ramp-up will look like:

Month 2

- As you learn Javascript + Clay + other tools, you will start building a training curriculum for onboarding new teammates who will join after you

Month 3
- You will be fully ramped up and manage clients, build and execute on campaigns

Below is a guiding principle that we will go through for any skill that you’ll learn, to ensure your success:
Step 1. I do; you shadow
Step 2. I do; you help
Step 3. You do; I help; we debrief
Step 4. You do; I shadow; we debrief
Step 5. You do; someone else shadows

As you develop your skill set and your impact on the business, we will re-negotiate your salary to ensure it is commensurate with your contribution. We will have the first review at the end of Month 3 once your onboarding is complete.

# What your day-to-day will look like:

You will need to maintain a minimum of 3 hours of overlap with EST time zone, which means you will need to be online from 21:00 - 00:00 your time (GMT+8). Outside of these hours and occasional one-off meeting requirements, you can set your own working hours.

About 80% of your work will be asynchronous and require blocks of distraction-free focus time. The other 20% will be for team and client meetings.

We take your professional growth and success seriously, and will invest time and resources in ensuring that we support you to become an integral part of the team.

You and I will meet on a weekly basis to discuss work and your professional development.

3. If we believe you would be a good fit, we will ask you to work on a *paid* assignment, which will resemble our day-to-day work
4. If you pass the assignment step, we will have a Google Meet call where you will have ample time to ask any questions to help you dUpgrade to see actual info
5. Finally, we will ask for and check all your past references

# A little bit about The Workflow Company

The Workflow Company helps automate outbound email-driven sales for B2B startups in North America. We build automated infrastructure and systems that enable sending thousands of hyper-personalized and relevant emails to potential customers on behalf of our clients. We do this by using AI and automation software like Clay (Upgrade to see actual info), Smartlead (smartlead.ai), and Apify (Upgrade to see actual info).

Here are some video walkthroughs of what we do:
1. Superorder: Upgrade to see actual info
2. SheetWhiz: Upgrade to see actual info
3. Slack Tool: Upgrade to see actual info
4. Inari: Upgrade to see actual info

We help our clients grow quickly through outbound automation, but we ourselves want to grow sustainably. This means we do things a little bit differently than most other agencies:
- We will only work with customers who we’re confident will benefit from working with us. If there are better or no solutions to a prospective client’s problem, we will be honest with them
- We prioritize sustainability over profits. This means we focus on making existing customers happy before bringing on new customers
- We love scenarios where everyone wins. This means always doing our best to align everyone’s incentives - whether it be our customers or teammates
- We think long-term. Integrity, reputation, and relationship are more important than ungenuine sales tactics, fancy marketing, and transactional profits

Lastly, here’s our current tool stack:

- Loom
