Channel Deployment Playbook
Why would I need to consider Reporting?
- Reporting is a measure of success and is essential for tracking performance such as profitability, sales targets, KPIs and customer experience measures
 - Reporting is performed on all products and propositions
 - PayPlan & Commissions will not be paid if the correct reporting is not in place
 
Pre-requisites to Consider Prior to Engagement
- Payplan & Commissions are dependent on reporting, have I ensured that reliable reporting will flow through into the team?
 - Does a similar report already exist?
 - Have I allowed the Reporting team adequate time to prepare prior to launch?
 - How will I measure success against the report?
 - Do I need reports for service?
 - Have I thought about who is using the reporting? ( different areas of the business will need different reports)

Who, How and When to Engage Reporting
- A reporting request should be raised as early as possible

 - ‘Data and Decisioning’ should be selected when raising the work request to engage Reporting
 
What will success look like at point of launch / post-launch?
- For all products there should be functional and operative reporting for sales, service, performance and PayPlan & Commissions
