Technology Support—PorchLight Included Services

We offer unparalleled technology support through our partner, Clarity, Inc. Most of this support is included at no additional cost to the agent, but for personal technology needs (those not directly related to PL systems), additional pay-based services are available.

Off-Boarding Technology Support
When an agent leaves PorchLight, their access to all PL systems is suspended immediately. Their Operations Leader will provide a full export of their CRM contacts (in .csv format) and will shut off all remaining search & stat notifications and marketing plans. Clarity will set an auto-responder on the agent’s PL email with the agent’s forwarding email address and will leave that auto-responder on for two weeks. If a departing agent needs additional technology support, the following packages are offered—billed directly by Clarity and payable by credit card, check or ACH:
  • Email Archive:
    – Providing an Outlook or Mac Mail archive file on Flash Drive
    – Providing a help doc on how to use or access it
    – COST TO AGENT: $125
  • Email Migration:
    – Migrating PL email to their new email system/provider
    – Importing contacts into their new system
    – COST TO AGENT: $300 / migration
