Overview

Playbook is the live client strategy document built from Playmaker, with positioning, ICP, personas, stories, scripts, email copy, launch planning, controlled client access, and resilient editing. AI generation and regeneration use only supplied client context, approved Google Doc references, and verified research, preserving unknowns instead of inventing facts.

How to use this page

  1. Open the client strategy document

    Choose a client in the switcher, then open Platform > Onboarding > Playbook. Use the section rail to move among strategy, targeting, personas, proof, scripts, emails, objections, launch planning, and calendar details.

  2. Review and edit the strategy

    Read the generated Playbook against the client's approved source material. Edit details, add comments, and keep client-specific facts, proof, pricing, offers, and operational details traceable to supplied client context or verified research.

  3. Add approved generation references

    Internal editors can open Build Your Playbook and add up to five approved Google Doc URLs, one per line. These references guide a generation with approved tone, positioning, proof points, terminology, and content, but are not saved after generation. A saved legacy Playbook link remains available as a separate fallback until an internal editor chooses Remove saved link. Removing it clears only the SalesHive link, never the Google Doc.

  4. Generate or regenerate carefully

    Generation and field regeneration use Playmaker, direct client notes, approved Google Doc references, approved Playbook content, and verified research in that order. Unsupported required strategy fields remain Client input needed. Proposed strategy is labeled Recommended or Hypothesis to validate, and prospect-facing emails or call scripts omit unsupported details.

  5. Use scripts and email copy

    Review calling scripts, post-call emails, auto emails, and more-info email copy before use. They are grounded in the approved Playbook context and should not introduce unverified client claims.

  6. Control client visibility

    Internal editors choose which sections are visible to the client. Client viewers see only approved visible sections in read-only form, while internal notes, generation settings, comments, history, and recovery tools remain internal.

Common questions

It treats direct client input, approved Google Doc references, and identified verified research as factual evidence. Existing AI-generated content is not evidence by itself. Missing required details stay Client input needed, recommendations are labeled, and prospect-facing copy omits unsupported detail.
Yes. Internal editors can provide up to five approved Google Doc URLs, one per line. They apply only to that generation and are not stored as ongoing Playbook settings.
It removes the legacy Playbook URL stored in SalesHive and stops its client fallback. It does not delete, edit, or otherwise change the linked Google Doc.
Use it when you intentionally want to rebuild generated sections from current inputs. It can overwrite edits, so review the confirmation first.
Clients see only sections marked visible to client in read-only form. Internal notes, generation settings, comments, history, and recovery controls stay internal.
Saves retry automatically. If retries fail, a persistent Retry control keeps the edit on the page, and browser backup can recover changes after a reload.
