Help a new salesperson get comfortable with your CRM
Teach one complete sales workflow, set appropriate access and review the first few records together.

Start with the role and responsibility
Explain which customers, enquiries and documents the salesperson is expected to handle. Ask the administrator to set up the appropriate account and permissions. Give each person their own login rather than sharing an existing account. Clear responsibility helps the new colleague understand both what they can do and when they should ask for help.
Teach one complete example
Walk through a sample enquiry from its requirement to a follow-up and a quotation. Explain why the fields matter as well as where to click. Use a designated demo environment or clearly approved training records. Avoid creating fake sales or payments in live business records just to demonstrate how a screen works.
Agree standards for notes and stages
Show examples of useful follow-up notes and explain how your team interprets lead stages. Clarify what counts as a confirmed order and which pricing changes require an internal check. Consistent definitions help the new salesperson make sensible choices without having to guess how colleagues use the same fields.
Check document access early
Have the new user confirm that they can find the records assigned to them and open the documents relevant to their work. In EngageNet, salespeople see assigned records subject to permissions, while company admins have broader company visibility. Resolve missing access through the administrator rather than copying business records into personal files as a workaround.
Review the first week of real work
Look at a small sample of actual notes and documents together. Correct misunderstandings while they are easy to fix, and explain the reason behind each change. Ask where the workflow feels unclear. A short review of real work is more useful than assuming a single demonstration means every part of the CRM is understood.
