1. Overview

As its name suggests, Magento 2 Sales Rep extension allows creating a team of sales representatives to keep in touch with specific customers in terms of orders and quotes.

Keep scrolling down to figure out how our solution works, especially for the B2B business.

2. How Does It Work?

enable-sales-rep-and-setup-email-notifications — Enable Sales Rep and Set up email notifications

Please go to Stores => Configurations => Sales Rep.

First off, set Enable to Yes so that the store admin can start creating new sales representatives per customer.

In the Sales Rep Email Config:

Email Sender: Pick up a sender you have created in advance.
Send Email Copy to: Enter multiple emails separated by a comma. We suggest sending email copies of "Assign Sales Rep to Customer" and "Unassign Sales Rep to Customer" emails to your sales rep so that they can get updated in real-time.
Assign Sales Rep to Customer: Choose an available template, for example, our built-in "Assign Sales Rep to Customer (Default)" template.
Unassign Sales Rep to Customer: Choose an available template, for example, our built-in "Unassign Sales Rep to Customer (Default)" template.

2.1. Create roles of Sales Rep

manage-all-user-roles-in-grid — Create the roles of sales rep

When this extension is installed completely, there are NO created roles of the admin sales rep and sales rep. Hence, the admin needs to create the new role first before assigning a user as a sales rep.

Follow the below guide:

Navigate to Systems => Permissions => User Roles.

Simply put, choose Add New Role.

create_the_roles_of_admin_sales_rep — Add the new role of Sales rep

Under Role Information:

Role Name: Enter a role for easy management
Sales Rep Role: Choose either Admin Sales Rep or Sales Rep

+ Sales Rep: Users with this role can access a tab in the admin panel to manage customers, orders, and quotes assigned to them.

+ Admin Sales Rep: Users with this role can manage customers, orders, and quotes assigned to all sales representatives.

Your Password: Enter the login password to confirm the action

Under Role Resources:

assign_resources_to_the_role_user — Assign resources to the role

Tick on Sales Rep resource, then users with the role can access the Customers, Orders, and Quotes grids assigned to them.

Notes:

+ The Quotes resource is only shown if you install the Magento 2 Request for Quote extension.

+ We have developed the Sales Rep resources with all information required by a sales rep to manage their customers.

sales-rep-resources

Sales Rep permissions

+ You can also assign Sales Rep users to other resources.

+ When a customer is assigned to another sales rep, orders and quotes assigned the former sales rep will remain under the control of that sales rep rather than of the new one.

Save the new role and click back on the created role, the Role Users session will appear.

Under Role Users, choose available users or create a new one later.
