Using the Assign Sales Rep option from the Tools menu, you can assign a sales rep to an account or unassign a sales rep from an account. The Assign Sales Rep option is only required if you want to assign additional sales reps to an account or change the primary/secondary sales rep assignments. Per default, the sales rep who has created the account is also the owner and primary sales rep of the account.

This option can be used, for example, if a new sales rep has been hired and you want him to take over certain accounts which his predecessor used to be in charge of.

When you add a new sales rep or edit the assignment of a sales rep you can also assign a role to the sales rep (e.g. global team leader, team member, regional team member). This is quite helpful when you have several sales reps working on special accounts in varying functions.

The designation of roles is custom-specific and may vary from hotel chain to hotel chain.

Note: Before assigning sales reps to an account and setting a sales rep primary, you should familiarize yourself with the consequences resulting from your changes. We recommend reading “Ownership of Accounts”
The Assign Sales Rep option can also be accessed from the account Edit screen. Simply click the respective Salesrep tab there.
