EDITORIAL WORKSPACE · DRAFT BRIEF

CRM & sales for podcasters: reporting

An evaluation brief to develop and verify before publication.

Editorial research outline. This page is not an approved recommendation. Search demand, product suitability and plan-level evidence remain to be researched.

The reader’s situation

An episode passes through research, recording, editing and distribution. The proposed reader is a small podcast production team and wants to move an enquiry to a completed sale.

The specific decision

A report should answer a decision your team actually makes. Keep source material and guest permissions with the episode.

Proposed evaluation

Prepare ten sample contacts, three opportunities and a follow-up due tomorrow.

  • Reconcile one dashboard metric against the underlying sample records.
  • Update an episode asset and locate the version used in publication.
  • Import a small synthetic contact list, including one duplicate.

Evidence to gather

  • The current official documentation for the exact plan and feature.
  • The plan name, region, billing term and date of each price checked.
  • An original trial record showing the input, output and observed limitation.
  • A clear explanation of how this lens changes the buying decision for this audience.
  • Evidence that this page answers a distinct reader need rather than repeating another guide.

Questions for the category

  • Which automation and reporting features require an upgrade?
  • Are email synchronisation and additional pipelines included?
  • Can contacts, notes and attachments all be exported?

Editorial acceptance criteria

A finished article should answer its decision question with evidence and a concrete example. Merge it into an existing guide if the answer is materially the same. Remove irrelevant candidate tools, explain uncertainty and keep pricing claims dated.
