Overview
Playbook is the live client strategy document for evidence-grounded strategy, scripts, email copy, launch planning, assigned SalesHive team, and controlled client review. Internal editors can preview one Playmaker-grounded field update at a time, compare the current and proposed copy, and apply only the update they approve. Applied updates create reversible History entries. Full Playbook regeneration remains a separate confirmed action that can replace saved edits.
How to use this page
Open the client strategy document
Choose a client, then open Platform > Onboarding > Playbook. Use the section rail for Generate, Your Team, Best Practices, strategy, targeting, proof, Calling Script, Post-Call Emails, Auto Emails, Objections, Meeting Handoff, Launch Plan, Calendar, comments, and History.
Review the strategy and assigned team
Check approved client facts, proof, pricing, offers, and operating details against direct client context or verified research. Your SalesHive Team groups current Leadership and SDR assignments, connected email accounts, and co-strategists while avoiding duplicate people.
Check for newer Playmaker input
Turn off View as client. When Playmaker was updated after the current Playbook was generated, the page shows Playmaker has newer input. Open Playmaker in a new tab if you need to inspect the source answers before updating any copy. The banner does not change the Playbook.
Preview one targeted field
Select the sparkle beside a Playbook field, Calling Script section, or email variant. Add optional guidance about tone, facts to include, or details to avoid, then choose Preview update. SalesHive generates a Playmaker-grounded proposal without changing the current field. Compare Current and Proposed side by side.
Apply only the update you approve
Choose Apply update only after the proposed copy is correct. Back returns to the guidance step, and Cancel or Close leaves the field unchanged. If the current field changed after the preview was created, SalesHive refuses the stale proposal and asks you to generate a new preview. Every applied update is recorded in History and can be reverted there.
Use full regeneration carefully
Generate includes Regenerate Post-Call Emails and Regenerate full Playbook. Full regeneration shows a confirmation because it replaces generated Playbook and campaign copy, including saved edits. Use field-level previews for controlled updates, and use Restore saved copy only when you need to bring back removed Auto-Email Campaign Copy.
Edit email and calling content
Internal editors can update Calling Script sections plus Post-Call, Auto Email, and meeting-email subjects and formatted bodies. Full email toolbars include Font, Size, color, capitalization, and supported merge fields. Wait for Saved before leaving a recently edited card.
Add or restore a Post-Call card
Use Add email to fill a missing Variant A or B and then add later steps through the ten-step maximum. Removed cards appear in Deleted email cards. Restore brings back that exact step and variant without creating a new step.
Review Change History
Turn off View as client, turn on Show history, and open History in the section rail. Each row shows the tracked field, who changed it, the change source, timestamp, and its From and To values.
Revert one recorded field
In the Revert Change column, select Revert for the row you want. Confirm Revert change to restore that row's From value. The action changes only that tracked field, reloads the Playbook, and adds a new history row labeled Revert. It does not roll back the whole Playbook.
Review Launch Plan and client presentation
Use Launch Plan for approval, assignment, grouped contact information, and activation details. Use View as client to preview only approved client-visible sections. Client viewers remain read-only and cannot open internal targeted previews or History.
Copy or print the current Playbook
Copy Content copies the current structured Playbook, including the same filtered Best Practices shown on the page. PDF / Print opens a printable version. Copy Share Link provides the client-facing route when the Playbook is visible.
