What is a collaborator?
A collaborator is another Spekit user you bring onto a Deal Room to work alongside you on the same deal. Think of it as the internal team behind a single buyer-facing room — the people who need to see what's happening and help keep it current, even though they're not the one who created it.
Common collaborators include:
- Sales Engineers (SEs) adding technical content or answering deep product questions
- Managers staying looped in on active deals without asking for a status update
- CSMs picking up context ahead of a handoff
- Other reps covering a territory or working the deal alongside you
Adding the right collaborators is especially useful for clean handoffs — if an account changes hands or a deal moves from sales to post-sale, a collaborator already has full context and access instead of starting from a cold handoff email.
What collaborators get
Once added, a collaborator has:
- Full edit access — they can add, remove, and reorganize content and sections just as you can
- Notifications for all Deal Room activity, including buyer engagement
- Analytics access — the same Recent Activity and Content Activity views you see, so they can track buyer engagement without asking you for updates
Important: collaborator access is all-or-nothing — there's no view-only permission. Anyone added as a collaborator gets full edit rights. If you just want someone to see the Deal Room without being able to change it — for example, sharing progress with a stakeholder who shouldn't be editing — send them the external share link instead of adding them as a collaborator.
A related but different action: if a deal is changing hands entirely (a rep leaving the account, a post-sale transition), consider transferring ownership of the Deal Room rather than just adding the new owner as a collaborator — this keeps a single clear owner and preserves the buyer's existing link and history without needing a new one.
