Switch to Pro account

Switch our brand account to a Pro account today so we can access analytics and email contact. Use our brand login and set the category to Digital Creator. Confirm the account shows analytics access, contact button enabled, and the profile category listed. Tell me the exact time this was done and take screenshots of the analytics home and the active contact button before you finish.

Before switching to Pro, make it easier for the team to accept the change. Explain the benefits in a one-paragraph note for the marketing lead, list the exact permissions that will change, note any temporary visibility changes during the switch, and flag whether our current linked phone or email might block verification. Recommend the ideal time (day and hour) to perform the switch to avoid disrupting scheduled posts.

I attempted to switch to Pro and the verification code went to a decommissioned team phone I can't access. The marketing lead needs analytics tomorrow for reporting. I don't know whether I can use the brand email instead or should reassign the phone. What's the fastest reliable way to complete verification now and what steps should I document to prevent this next month?

We keep delaying switching accounts to Pro because the only person who can receive verification codes is frequently traveling. This costs us analytics access and slows campaigns. Where is the friction, and what durable process change would prevent future bottlenecks without weakening account security?
