How Do I Create a Sales Playbook?

Overview
The Sales Playbook allows admins to create detailed yet easy-to-understand procedures for executing sales campaigns. Each tab in the playbook should be titled after a single objective and contain the steps necessary to achieve that objective. Each step, in turn, should contain the assets necessary to complete it. Any assets that the admin attaches (such as call scripts or emails) can be customized for each individual contact.  If the Admin has any additional notes that don’t belong to any specific step, he or she can put them in the F.A.Q section.

Accessing the Sales Playbook Template Creator:

To create a template, go to the ‘Setup’ tab, then from the ‘Asset Management' section, select ‘Playbook Templates’. In the playbook template gallery, select ‘Sales’ and then click ‘Create'.
Note: On the Bridge platform, clients can personalize menu navigation to better suit the specific needs of their Users. Things may be under a different part of your navigation bar depending on your settings and customization. Contact your platform administrator, Support Team or Consultant for further assistance if you can’t find the selection noted.
