Sales CRM - Sales Managers & Sales Persons


Transcript


Hi, Alek here from Platformly. In this tutorial video,


we are going to discuss how to create

a sales manager or a sales person that is


going to be connected with your

Sales CRM. As an account owner,


you're the only one with permissions

to create team accounts.


In order to create a team account,


you need to go to your

profile and then "Setup".


Once you land on that page,


from the projects, you need

to choose the "Users" tab.


In this screen,


you can see your existing

team members and you can create


a new team member by clicking

the + button here.


So let's create a sales manager first.


So you click the + button, let's give it a name...


So "SalesM", email,


I'm going to use my email address.


OK, we enter a password,

so you choose the project's permissions.


So in this case, we're going to choose

that he can only access the "Test Project".


System permissions,


so we are denying everything.


So deny all access and only

allow below sub-areas.


So we're going to allow him

only CRM access, nothing else.


Then he doesn't need a dashboard

permissions so he can't create dashboards.


If your sales manager is also responsible

for different


stuff like marketing automation or

sending emails, broadcasts, etc.,


of course you can assign them also


the other aspects and other menus so you

can assign the "Messages" section or


"Automation" section in order for them

to be able to use it.


OK, so this is how you

create a sales manager.


So fill in the information,


you remove everything and you

just give him CRM access and submit.


So we have our sales manager and quickly,

we are going to create a sales person.


The difference is that sales managers

can view all the activities,


all the pipelines, all the deals,

and can view all the salespeople,


check their activities,

filter by specific sales person, etc.




I'm going to quickly show

you that in a minute.


So "SalesP" for sales person, for example.


Again, I'm going to use my email.


OK, then...


OK, again, we give permission only


to a specific project, of course,

one or multiple.


We deny everything and only

CRM access so "CRM Section".


And we tick "It is a Sales Person".


This opens another option where you can


choose what pipeline, one or

multiple, your sales person can view.


In this case, we have

two in the "Test Project".


So I'm going to choose

only the default pipeline.


So this sales person has only

access to the default pipeline.


That's it.

OK, submit.


So we got our sales

manager and sales person.


So I'm going to just quickly change

the browser in incognito


mode and log in like a sales

manager first so I can show you how it


looks and basically what are the views

and environment for a sales manager.


So we're going to log in now as a sales


manager, so as you can see,

he has access to the CRM


and he can log out, of course,

so from the CRM he has full access


to the contacts,

organizations, pipelines, etc.


so let's go quickly in the pipelines.


So from here, the sales manager has

also access to all the pipelines.


You can also create new pipelines.


You can also edit the current one, etc.


He can see all activities


so by clicking there,

he can see the activities,


then he can filter by specific

sales person and of course, by him,


if he has some activities assigned to. Also, when


a deal is open,

for example, he can go to the specific


sales person and see

an overview and details.


So in this case, this sales person has

5 deals and 8 activities,


so he has 3 overdue deals, for example,

and 1 overdue activity.


And also he can see the files that are


assigned, if there are some documents,

etc., to be signed.


Those will also be visible here.


So as you can see, the sales manager sees


everything from the Sales CRM and has

control over the Sales CRM and also


over the sales person, so he can

see their activities, their deals...


He can manage the deals

and all the functionalities.


Now, let's just quickly log out.


We're going to, again, log in as

a sales person.


OK, so this is a similar

screen for the sales person.


Of course, you can just log out also.


And as you can see here, he only

has access to contacts and pipelines.


So he doesn't have access to organizations

and other fields from the CRM,


like segmenting and custom

fields, for example.


So he can see the contacts, because,

of course, they are needed,


the permission is needed so

they can, let's see, go to a contact.


Then they could go into deals and they can

see the actual deals there or they can go


to activities and see the activities that

are sent to him or to them, of course.


And when they go on pipelines,


we chose only this pipeline so this

sales person can see only this pipeline.


And as you can see here in activities

from here, as you can see,


they are unable to choose assignees

so they can only see their activities.


In this case, this sales person doesn't


have an activity assigned because

it was created as new.


So they can see their activities,

they can see the pipeline they're assigned


to, and they are basically focused

on only their assigned work.


So if there were deals assigned

they would have seen them here.


So let's quickly go back here.


We go to "Pipelines".


If we get on this deal

quickly and just click on "Edit".


And reassigned to "SalesP".


OK, cool.

Then we go here.


There is 1 activity so we can go

quickly on that activity and reassign it.


"SalesP", for example.


OK, so this can also be done by the sales

manager and also the account owner.


And we get back and if

we refresh the page,


so here is the deal,

it is assigned to the sales person.


By clicking, you can see the activities,


but it's only his profile,

so he's unable to see other activities that are


for other team members.

That gives basically a fully focused


sales person environment where

they can only focus on their work.


And if they go here, for example,


on the activities here

or even if they click here


on the activities, they can see

only their assigned activities.


I hope that this video was not

too long and I hope you enjoyed it.


Thanks for watching.
