Expectations & Considerations:
Client Environments allow you to distinguish Closed-Won deals from your trials and demos. Establishing the three teams described under “Structure”, your team will stay organized and focused on critical deals.
Organizational Structure:
We recommend defining three primary sections within your environment. One specifically for trials, another for demos, and the third for your clients.
The client environment will be used for all existing clients. Similar to the trial environment, we recommend starting with an ‘Active’ and ‘Inactive’ subgroup to keep track of existing and past clients. You can add additional teams for platform and library access. For example, a team that only has access to a specific library.
Your Access & Privileges
- Teams will be designated for trials, demos, and clients.
- Trials will be leveraged for temporary access to the BizLibrary platforms for prospects. Access to the libraries via trial should be closely monitored and removed after no more than 2 weeks.
- Demos will be leveraged for internal sales reps to talk about the BizLibrary platform. This should be set up during implementation and updated on a quarterly basis.
- Client structures will house all active clients/. Here, profiles can be created for client administrators and their teams. Library access and privileges will need to be set for every new client based on their individual purchases.
