Getting your Staff on Edelweiss
It is undoubtedly true that a staff that is knowledgeable about new and upcoming titles is a great thing for a business or organization that depends on a constant influx of new books.
With that in mind, it is very easy to add new Edelweiss users to an Organization. You'll need User Administrator access to do so. If you don't have it, someone else at your organization probably does, and they can give you that access if you should, in fact, have it. Otherwise, feel free to contact us.
 
If you do have Administrator privileges, you'll see the User Management link in your Administration Tab:
 
 
Just click Add User. If you want to see which access privileges an existing user has, click the pencil and paper icon. 
 
If you're adding a user that does not do any ordering, and who should not have Administrator access, simply make sure that these two boxes remain unchecked:
 
 
So, for example, a frontline bookseller with the above access privileges will not be able to add or change users and they will not have access to orders*. They will be able to see that a title is on order, but they won't be able to manipulate or access your orders. They'll still be able to browse upcoming titles, write reviews, nominate titles for IndieNext, make friends in the Edelweiss Community with other booksellers and sales reps, access Digital Review Copies, see Buzz titles, add Tags and Notes, etc. 
 
*Note: only Library, Wholesaler, and Retail organizations have access to Ordering tools in Edelweiss.

 Rep Tip: Consistency in Your Markups
 For a buyer, a rep who is consistent with how they present their markups is a blessing. Some reps quietly refer to this as "training their buyers," but the truth is, presenting important information as concisely as possible to a person who can take no more than a minute or two to make an informed decision about a title just makes sense. Doing so in a consistent and easy-to-read format just makes sense.
 
A few tips from some veteran reps:  
    - Use Priorities wisely. Some reps use the Featured priority for titles about which the publisher is super excited. They use the  Highlighted priority to show the titles that they, the reps personally, are very excited about. There is a distinction, and the better your accounts know and trust you, the more meaning that will have for them.
    - We've already mentioned concise, but here's another tip: BE CONCISE! A few sentences about the book, what it is, and why your accounts will sell it may be all you need. Some account may want more or less, but as a rule, they may have over 1000 titles to go through each season from your publisher alone. 
    -You're probably pretty funny and it's OK to let that come through in your notes. The more amusing something is to read, the more likely it is that it will be read.
