How to Create the Role Play Team Library

Learn how managers and admins can create, organize, and maintain the Role Play Team Library in Shilo.

The Team Library in Shilo's Role Play section helps managers and admins save real calls for training, coaching, onboarding, and ongoing practice.

Use the Team Library to organize calls your team can learn from, then group them into folders by skill, scenario, team, or coaching focus.

What the Team Library is for

The Team Library is a shared library of calls that agents can use for Role Play practice. Managers and admins can add calls from the Calls page, organize them into folders, and build a library of examples for the team.

You may want to save calls that show:

  • A strong discovery conversation

  • A well-handled objection

  • A pricing or budget conversation

  • A difficult customer interaction

  • A strong close

  • A call with an undefined next step

  • A call that needs coaching review

  • A useful example for new team members

Create a Team Library folder

  1. Open Shilo.

  2. Go to Role Play in the left-hand navigation.

  3. Select Team Library.

  4. Click "+ Create Folder" Button

  5. Name Folder

  6. Click Save.

After the folder is saved, it will appear in the Team Library and can be used to store practice calls.

Ways to organize folders

You can organize folders in whatever way works best for your team.

Common folder examples include:

  • New Agent Training

  • Discovery Calls

  • Pricing Conversations

  • Objection Handling

  • Follow-Up Practice

  • Undefined Next Steps

  • Great Examples

  • Needs Coaching

  • Recruiting

  • Sales

  • ISA

  • Compliance Review

Use folder names that make it easy for agents to know where to go.

Add a call to the Team Library

  1. Go to the Calls page.

  2. Use filters if needed to find the call you want.

  3. Adjust the date filter if needed. For example, choose All Time if you are looking for an older call.

  4. Open the call.

  5. Select the three-dot menu.

  6. Choose Add to Role Play Team Library.

  7. Select the folder or folders where the call should be saved.

  8. Click Save.

The call will now appear in the selected Team Library folder.

Add one call to multiple folders

A single call can be added to more than one folder.

This is helpful when a call fits multiple training topics. For example, one call might belong in both Pricing Conversations and Objection Handling.

Choose good calls for practice

Good Team Library calls should give agents something useful to learn from or practice.

Strong practice calls may include:

  • Calls your team should model

  • Calls with a clear coaching opportunity

  • Calls that show a common objection

  • Calls from a specific stage or lead source

  • Calls that match a current team training focus

  • Three-star calls that are close to strong but need a few improvements

Avoid saving calls that are too short, mostly voicemail, or not useful for practice unless they support a specific training goal.

Use Shilo Insights to build the library

Shilo Insights can help you decide what folders to create and which calls to add.

For example, if Insights shows your team is struggling with a specific objection, you can create a folder for that objection and add calls that help agents practice it.

To use Insights:

  1. Go to Insights in the left-hand navigation.

  2. Open Shilo Insights.

  3. Review Top Moments, Top Improvements, and Suggested Scenarios.

  4. Use filters to narrow the data if needed.

  5. Look for patterns your team should practice.

  6. Add relevant calls or scenarios into the appropriate Role Play folder.

Maintain the Team Library

Review the Team Library regularly so it stays useful.

You may want to:

  • Remove calls that are no longer helpful

  • Reorganize calls into better folders

  • Add new calls based on current coaching priorities

  • Create folders for new team initiatives

  • Update folders as your training needs change

Need help?

If you are not sure how to organize your Team Library, start with the coaching topics your team reviews most often. Shilo support can also help you decide which folders and call examples may be most useful for your team.
