Getting started with Phoenix - Consultant Partners

Phoenix is the web-based portal Converge International uses for managing your diary, clients and appointments. As the portal is web-based, there’s no application required to use it, just your existing web-browser.

As a consultant, after the 1st appointment has been booked for your client you will manage all rebooking's and appointment management via the Phoenix portal.

Below is a table of contents for this guide. It’s recommended you view each section in order or you can jump to a particular section by clicking a link below.

Access the portal

When you are onboarded with Converge, you’ll receive an email with your username (your email address) and a temporary password. Your username is your email address.

• Portal link: https://cnvrge-phoenix-prod1.pegacloud.net/prweb

Once you’ve logged in, make sure you bookmark the portal page for easy access in the future.

Adjusting your browser settings

We recommend you adjust your browser zoom settings to best view the Phoenix portal page.

To do this, in Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome browsers (Windows and Mac), click the three dots or three lines near the top right of your web-browser window. Then from the drop down menu, change the Zoom level to between 70 to 80%.

For Apple Safari browser on Mac, click the “View” menu from the top of your screen and from the drop down menu, click Zoom out 2 or 3 times.

Quick View

The Quick View page is the default page when you login. If you need to get back to it, you can click “Quick View” from the left menu. It’s recommended that you complete all your work for rebooking, completing (commencing) and marking sessions as no-show / cancellation from this page.

Quick View is split into three sections:

• Appointments Not Started

  • Which contains all upcoming appointments and appointments which have not been started yet

• Appointments in Progress

  • Contains all appointments which have been commenced but not completed / closed

• Appointments Recently Completed

  • Contains all appointments recently been completed, cancelled or marked as no show

Your appointments will be placed in one of the three above mentioned sections, depending on the status of the appointment. On the right side of the appointment in all three sections is the blue “Rebook” button which lets you quickly rebook the client.

Billing and invoicing

How we process payments for completed sessions

When you complete an appointment (by clicking commence and completing the appointment) it indicates to the system that you have completed work for that appointment, allowing us to then proceed with including that appointment in your end of month reconciliation. We reconcile your account and email you a remittance summary of this on the last day of each month based on your completed appointments.

• Completing an appointment

Invoicing Converge

You will need to complete appointments you have conducted. We recommend you commence and complete appointments either between sessions, at the end of the day or at the end of the week when you have admin time. It takes approximately 1-3 minutes per appointment to mark it as commenced and to then complete it. By completing the appointment it indicates you have completed that work and we include it with your end of month remittance. Completing an appointment (Quick View)

Consultant Partner Open Schedule

As a Consultant Partner of Converge, a set amount of hours per week is allocated to you and categorised in your calendar as an “Open Schedule”. With this Consultant Partner Open Schedule, you will be compensated for all “Open Schedule” hours, with or without an appointment booked into your “Open Schedule” hours.

Payment timeline

As mentioned above, Converge International requires you to complete the appointment before the end of the month - any completed appointments will be included with your end of month remittance notice. After you receive your remittance notice, the payment due is held for 14 days for disputes that need to be rectified (such as payment issues, amount due issues etc.). After this 14 day dispute period, your payment is then released to your nominated bank account. This means it can take between 2-3 weeks for payment to reach you after receiving the remittance notice email.
