Summary


Within Perenso Administrator, you have the ability to set up things a Rep can do or do when in a store. One of these things are called "Competitor Information".

Competitor Information is a broad term and the uses for it can vary widely but in short, it is somewhere where you create a range of "Types" and associate them with "Groups" and then allow the Reps to record a note on it. For example, you may have a "Type" of "Competitor Display" and the "Groups" might be your bands. The rep would then select "Competitor Display" and your corresponding brand to record some notes on the competitor's product display.

Once a "Competitor Information" to do item has been setup, you have the ability to report on these to monitor the answers by counting the "Types" that have answers populated.

What call types are counted in this report?

In this particular report, the call type is defined by a parameter (the "Call Type" parameter). Leaving this set to "All" means any call counts on this report. You can change this by changing the parameter from "All" to a specific call type if required.
