Welcome kit as recruitment tool

The welcome kit doubles as a recruitment differentiator. During recruiting conversations with prospective agents, mentioning the welcome kit as part of the onboarding experience signals that the team invests in agents from day 1. Show the prospective agent a sample welcome kit (or photos of recent new agents in welcome kit pieces). The investment signals organizational maturity that recruits compare across teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should the team or the new agent pay for the welcome kit?

Team pays. The welcome kit is the teams onboarding investment in the agent. Charging the new agent undermines the welcome signal.

What if the new agent doesnt make it past 30 days?

Welcome kit is a sunk cost. Average new agent retention rates make this a manageable line item. The investment is worth it for the agents who do succeed.

Can the welcome kit be customized for specific roles (buyer agent kit vs listing agent kit)?

Yes. Buyer agent kit might include performance polo, listing agent kit might include premium polo. Same starter pack pieces, role specific variants.

How do we handle agents who join from a competing team?

Welcome kit same as any new agent. Some teams add a "welcome to [team]" note acknowledging the move. The pieces are the same.
