It includes subscribers/audience on one side, and on the other individuals across various businesses from advertising brands, advertising agencies, and media buyers.

Set up approval workflows to ensure products sold at the right price

The sales process is typically complex and involves multiple back and forth between the client and the publisher before finalizing the media plan. You need to set up approval rules so that no product is accidentally being significantly undersold or oversold. It also helps you to set up approvals rules to ensure the products are sold at the right price so that the sales team does not go into discounting the value you are offering to your customers.
