New Hire Sales Tech Stack Checklist
Every login, tool and integration a new rep needs — organized by category with an owner and a days-before-start deadline — so day one is spent selling, not filing IT tickets.
What's inside
- Identity & Access checklist (email, SSO, MFA, chat access)
- CRM & Core Sales Systems checklist
- Communication & Calling checklist (dialer, cadence tool, video, scheduling)
- Content, Enablement & Intelligence checklist (LMS, call recording, content library)
- Prospecting & Data checklist (intent data, Sales Navigator)
- Deal Execution checklist (e-signature, CPQ, legal escalation path)
- Hardware & Physical checklist (laptop, headset, badge, desk)
- Security & Compliance checklist (training, agreements, licensing)
- Day-One Verification protocol
Provision everything below BEFORE day one. Owner = who provisions it. By = days before start date (T-minus).

Day-One Verification (do this the morning they start, before anything else)
- Manager logs into every tool above using the rep's own credentials to confirm access actually works
- Single "Day 1 Access Sheet" handed to the rep with every login, URL, and who to call if something's broken
How to use it
Assign an owner to each item the moment an offer is accepted, work backward from the start date using the T-minus column, and have the manager log into every tool with the new rep's own credentials the morning they start.
