Manager
A Manager (also called a Sales Manager) is a user who is responsible for setting up and guiding the sales teams. Managers use the Salesken platform to set up leads or to configure sales pipelines for the products/services being sold by their business. Within the Salesken platform, a manager gets a bird’s eye view of all sales activity across their team. With the help of Salesken Customer Support reps, managers can set up Playbook signals that our systems can track during sales conversations. Managers can also set up sales cues for their products.
