Manager Guide

See who planned their week, who's following through, and drill into any rep's calls.

First, read the Sales & Counter Guide. Managers plan and log their own calls in My Week exactly like reps do — this guide covers the extra Team Report tab you also have.

Assigning calls to a rep

When you add an activity (+ Add activity in My Week, the Dashboard, or a customer's 360° view), you get an Assign to picker that reps don't. Leave it on yourself, or pick a rep you manage — the call lands in their plan, recorded as assigned by you. The picker only lists people you can see: your own team for branch managers, everyone for sales managers and admins.

Team Dashboard (sales managers & admins)

The Team Dashboard is the big-picture view for sales leadership — and it's the first thing sales managers and admins see when they sign in. A sales manager sees their own team; admins see every manager's team side by side. For the selected week (‹ › arrows to change it) you get:

Branch managers don't see this tab — their view of their own team is the Team Report below.

Leaders & Bleeders — any rep

The Leaders & Bleeders tab works for you the same as it does for reps (see the Sales & Counter Guide), with one addition: a Rep menu at the top lets you switch to any rep you oversee and see their book — who's growing, who's slipping, each account's last order/quote, last task, and open tasks. Branch managers see their own reps; sales managers and admins see everyone. Use it before a one-on-one to spot the accounts a rep should be working.

The Team Report

Open the Team Report tab. It shows plan vs. actual for your reps for the selected week. Use the ‹ › arrows to change weeks.

Emails you'll receive

You don't have to keep the app open to stay on top of your team — TrueBearing emails you automatically. The emails come from the rep's own mailbox, so you can reply straight to them.

WhenYou get
A rep submits their plan (start of week) Their plan for the week — the calls they intend to make, with a breakdown by activity type.
A rep submits their log (end of week) What they completed — done vs. not, complete %, and a by-type breakdown.
A rep submits a price page The customer price page as a branded PDF — suppliers, target margins, and levels — for your review. It also goes to the vendor-programs team.
Weekly team debrief (Sunday morning by default) One email covering your whole team: a plan-vs-actual summary table plus every rep's calls and notes — sitting in your inbox for Monday.
Don't see them? Email is set up by your admin (it uses your Microsoft 365 account). If notifications are off or you're not receiving the debrief, check with your admin — the controls live under Admin → Email Notifications.
