Can Personal Action Plans Be Converted to Account-Level Action Plans?
Personal Action Plans cannot be shared or converted. To make them usable across your team, they must be manually recreated as Account-Level Plans.
Why This Feature Matters
In Sierra Interactive, Action Plans are critical for automating lead follow-up and task management. Understanding the difference between Personal and Account-Level Action Plans is essential for maintaining consistency across your team’s workflows.
When agents create effective follow-up strategies, leaders often want to replicate those across the team. However, Personal Action Plans are only accessible by the user who created them and cannot be shared or converted to account-wide use. This helps ensure that CRM-wide processes are created intentionally and by users with the right level of access.
Step-by-Step Instructions
To Recreate a Personal Action Plan at the Account Level:
- Have the Agent or Lender share the steps of their Personal Action Plan with a Manager.
- Log in to the Manager or Primary Manager account.
- Go to Leads > Action Plans.
- Click Create New Action Plan.
- Rebuild the plan step-by-step, including:
- Task assignments
- Message templates
- Timing and delays
- Save the Action Plan, making it available to all users in the account.
- Train your team on how and when to use the new Account-Level Action Plan.
Best Practices
- Standardize your team’s lead follow-up by using Account-Level Action Plans created by Managers.
- Audit Personal Plans created by agents and identify which should be recreated at the Account level.
- Document and share naming conventions so plans are easily recognizable and properly categorized.
- Limit Personal Plans to one-off workflows or testing sequences. Promote Account-Level Plans for all team-wide follow-up strategies.
- Reinforce usage of shared plans during onboarding and training sessions.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Problem: Agent cannot share an Action Plan with another team member.
Solution: Confirm if the Action Plan is Personal. Personal Plans can only be seen and used by the creator.
Problem: Manager cannot find a plan that was created by an agent.
Solution: The agent likely created a Personal Plan. Request a copy of the plan details to rebuild it under the Manager's account.
Problem: Agents are using inconsistent follow-up methods.
Solution: Audit Personal Plans, then recreate the most effective ones as Account-Level Plans.
