Overpass offers three different levels of authority for your sales team: agent, supervisor, and administrator. The role you assign directly determines which features and functions each team member has access to. As a client, you can edit the role of any member of your team by logging into Overpass, selecting the Workforce tab, then clicking the Details icon next to that specific person.
Roles and Campaigns
When team members are first hired, by default they will have agent status, but won't have access to any of your campaigns. The Details button allows you to select which campaign(s) they will have access to, and what level of authority they will have for each.
Please note that the agent and supervisor roles are assigned on a per-campaign basis, meaning that the same person can be given different levels of access (or none at all) for each respective campaign. The administrator role, in contrast, always grants access across all campaigns, so it always operates on a global level.
Notice in the left image below, this contractor has been given agent access for the first campaign, and supervisor access for the second. From this screen, the client can add or remove access to other campaigns as well, as time goes on.
Alternatively, in the right image, this same person has been switched to administrator access, so the option to add/remove individual campaign access is no longer needed. Administrator access always includes all campaigns.
Features and Functionality by Role
Agent
The default and most limited access level for Overpass sales reps is agent. When a new team member is hired, they begin with agent status, and do not initially have access to any campaigns.
Agents always have the following abilities:
Dial outbound calls (within campaigns they have access to)
Add outcomes and notes summarizing their past calls
Read and update contact information of leads/customers within specific campaigns
Create new leads within specific campaigns
Schedule upcoming outbound calls for a specific time and date
Send messages to employer and any other agents on the team (via the Overpass Message Center widget)
Access any training materials you've previously uploaded
Depending on your settings and preferences, agents may be able to:
Send and receive email messages
Read and update contact information of all leads/customers within your system
Supervisor
The supervisor role provides access to our Campaign Monitor features. This role is primarily designed for team members who will be managing or providing guidance to other agents. However, it can also be used by clients who simply want to give their agents additional access to their own data and call logs.
Supervisors can do everything that agents can, as well as:
Access the Campaign Monitor tools for any campaigns they have access to
Listen to call recordings from previous calls on those campaign(s)
Review outcomes and notes from other agents' calls
Administrator
Users with the administrator role have essentially the same full-site access as clients do. Administrators have the ability to make significant changes to your Overpass workspace and campaigns, so this role should only be given to team members you trust with that responsibility.
Administrators can do everything that agents and supervisors can, as well as:
Access the Marketplace (to browse agent profiles and voice samples)
Schedule and conduct interviews with potential hires
Send contract offers to potential hires
Hire contractors
Cancel existing contracts
Propose changes to the terms of existing contract
Create new campaigns or deactivate existing campaigns
Change the settings of ongoing campaigns
Assign or remove other agents from campaigns
Upload new contacts into the workspace
Delete existing contacts into the workspace
Add, remove, or rearrange contact lists within the workspace
Upload training materials for agents
Update company profile and logo
Update workplace settings, including phone number and email options
Update company payment information (credit card)
