Weekly Content Roundup (WCR) - Process {{ currentPage ? currentPage.title : "" }}

The Weekly Content Roundup (WCR) is the team’s primary weekly email content piece. It aggregates blog posts from all agents, includes a short BombBomb video introduction, and highlights relevant events happening in Ottawa over the upcoming weekend.

The WCR serves three core purposes:

  • Nurture existing leads and clients

  • Showcase the team’s expertise and insights

  • Maintain consistent weekly communication with the audience

The process involves three stages: agent content submission, marketing compilation, and distribution through Follow Up Boss (FUB).

Agent Content Submission

1. Weekly Blog Contribution

All agents are expected to publish one blog post per week on nickfundytus.ca.

Once the blog is published, the agent must:

  • Copy the blog URL

  • Share it in the designated Google Chat channel: Weekly Content Roundups

This must be completed no later than Wednesdays at 11:59 PM.
