Who can add team members

If you are responsible for your firm's account, you can add team members to your Marloo organisation. This is typically done by the account administrator or firm owner.

Accessing team management

Step 1: Navigate to team settings

  • Go to "Settings" in the left-hand toolbar

  • Click on your company name (not your personal name)

  • Select the "Team" section

Step 2: Find the add member option

  • Look for the blue "Add a member" button in the top right corner

  • Click this button to start the invitation process

Adding new team members

Step 1: Enter member details

  • First name: Enter the team member's first name

  • Email address: Provide their work email address for the invitation

  • Role selection: Choose their role type (critical for billing)

Step 2: Select the appropriate role

Advisor role:

  • Billing impact: Advisors are charged users ($99/month per advisor)

  • Full access: Complete access to all Marloo features

  • Client interaction: Designed for team members who provide financial advice

  • Template access: Can create and modify templates

Support role:

  • No charge: Support or back-office staff are completely free

  • Full product access: Same feature access as advisors

  • Administrative functions: Perfect for paraplanners, administrators, and support staff

  • Collaboration: Can view and collaborate on client meetings and documents

Step 3: Send the invitation

  • Click "Send Invitation" or similar action button

  • The team member will receive an email invite to join your organization

  • They'll follow the invitation link to create their account

Understanding the invitation process

What happens next:

  1. Email invitation: New team member receives an invitation email

  2. Account creation: They click the link and create their Marloo account

  3. Organisation join: Their account is automatically linked to your firm

  4. Access granted: Immediate access to appropriate firm features

  5. Billing update: Advisor roles automatically update your billing

Invitation management:

  • Pending invitations: Track invitations that haven't been accepted yet

  • Resend invitations: Send reminder emails if needed

  • Cancel invitations: Remove pending invitations if circumstances change

Billing implications of team roles

Cost structure:

  • Advisors only: Only advisor roles are charged to your subscription

  • Support staff free: No additional cost for support, admin, or back-office staff

  • Immediate billing: Advisor additions take effect immediately

  • Prorated charges: Fair billing for mid-month additions

Why support staff are free: Marloo recognizes that great financial advice is a team effort. Support staff, paraplanners, and administrators play crucial roles in client service, so we provide them full access at no additional cost.

Role examples:

Typical advisor roles:

  • Financial advisors and planners

  • Senior advisors and partners

  • Client-facing team members

  • Anyone providing regulated financial advice

Typical support roles:

  • Paraplanners and technical support

  • Administrative assistants

  • Compliance officers

  • Reception and client service staff

  • Junior staff and interns

Best practices for adding team members

Before adding members:

  • Confirm roles: Clearly identify who should be advisor vs. support roles

  • Email verification: Ensure you have correct work email addresses

  • Coordination: Let team members know to expect the invitation

  • Training planning: Consider scheduling training or demos for new users

During the invitation process:

  • Clear communication: Explain what Marloo is and how it will benefit them

  • Support availability: Let them know help is available during setup

  • Role clarity: Ensure they understand their role and access level

After invitation acceptance:

  • Welcome and orientation: Provide initial guidance and support

  • Template setup: Help them understand your firm's template standards

  • Calendar integration: Assist with calendar connection if needed

  • Team integration: Introduce them to collaborative features
