• {{affected_teams}}: list of teams or roles impacted
• {{key_dates}}: timeline for rollout (effective date, training, etc.)
• {{reasons_for_change}}: business rationale (e.g., market shifts, coverage gaps)
• {{impact_on_quotas}}: any changes to quotas or compensation
• {{support_resources}}: who to contact for questions, FAQs, etc.
• {{communication_channel}}: email, town hall, etc.
• {{tone}}: formal or conversational (default professional and empathetic)

Instructions

3. Open with a brief purpose statement and acknowledge the impact on the team.
4. Explain what is changing, why it is changing, and how it affects each group.
5. Outline the timeline and any actions required from reps or managers.
6. Provide support resources and a clear next step for questions.
7. Keep the message concise and avoid jargon.
