| 5 | +Depending on your business workflow and needs, you may need to dispatch |
| 6 | +your incoming leads to different sales team or even to specific |
| 7 | +salespeople. Here are a few example: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +- Your company has several offices based on different geographical |
| 10 | + regions. You will want to assign leads based on the region; |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +- One of your sales teams is dedicated to treat opportunities from |
| 13 | + large companies while another one is specialized for SMEs. You |
| 14 | + will want to assign leads based on the company size; |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +- One of your sales representatives is the only one to speak foreign |
| 17 | + languages while the rest of the team speaks English only. |
| 18 | + Therefore you will want to assign to that person all the leads |
| 19 | + from non-native English-speaking countries. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +As you can imagine, manually assigning new leads to specific individuals |
| 22 | +can be tedious and time consuming - especially if your company generates |
| 23 | +a high volume of leads every day. Fortunately, Odoo CRM allows you to |
| 24 | +automate the process of lead assignation based on specific criteria such |
| 25 | +as location, interests, company size, etc. With specific workflows and |
| 26 | +precise rules, you will be able to distribute all your opportunities |
| 27 | +automatically to the right sales teams and/or salesman. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Configuration |
| 30 | +============= |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +If you have just started with Odoo CRM and haven't set up your sales |
| 33 | +team nor registered your salespeople, :doc:`read this documentation first <../../overview/started/setup>`. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Define rules for a sales team |
| 36 | +============================= |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +From the sales module, go to your dashboard and click on the **More** |
| 39 | +button of the desired sales team, then on **Settings**. If you don't |
| 40 | +have any sales team yet, :doc:`you need to create one first <../../salesteam/setup/create_team>`. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +.. image:: ./media/automatic01.jpg |
| 43 | + :align: center |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +On your sales team menu, use in the **Domain** field a specific domain |
| 47 | +rule (for technical details on the domain refer on the |
| 48 | +`Building a Module tutorial <https://www.odoo.com/documentation/8.0/howtos/backend.html#domains>`__ |
| 49 | +or `Syntax reference guide <https://www.odoo.com/documentation/8.0/reference/orm.html#reference-orm-domains>`__) |
| 50 | +which will allow only the leads matching the team domain. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +For example, if you want your *Direct Sales* team to only receive leads |
| 53 | +coming from United States and Canada, your domain will be as following : |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +``[[country_id, 'in', ['United States', 'Canada']]]`` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +.. image:: ./media/automatic02.jpg |
| 58 | + :align: center |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +.. note:: |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | + you can also base your automatic assignment on the score attributed to your |
| 63 | + leads. For example, we can imagine that you want all the leads with a score |
| 64 | + under 100 to be assigned to a sales team trained for lighter projects and |
| 65 | + the leads over 100 to a more experienced sales team. Read more on :doc:`how to score leads here <lead_scoring>`. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Define rules for a salesperson |
| 68 | +============================== |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +You can go one step further in your assignment rules and decide to |
| 71 | +assign leads within a sales team to a specific salesperson. For example, |
| 72 | +if I want Toni Buchanan from the *Direct Sales* team to receive only |
| 73 | +leads coming from Canada, I can create a rule that will automatically |
| 74 | +assign him leads from that country. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +Still from the sales team menu (see here above), click on the |
| 77 | +salesperson of your choice under the assignment submenu. Then, enter |
| 78 | +your rule in the *Domain* field. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +.. image:: ./media/automatic03.jpg |
| 81 | + :align: center |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +.. note:: |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | + In Odoo, a lead is always assigned to a sales team before to be assigned to |
| 86 | + a salesperson. Therefore, you need to make sure that the assignment rule of |
| 87 | + your salesperson is a child of the assignment rule of the sales team. |
