# Getting Started

This user manual will guide you through the process of presenting collections, conducting sales meetings and placing orders using the Sales App. 

## What Is The Sales App

The Colect Sales App is designed to showcase and sell collections on iPad, using **virtual storytelling**. It is made to increase sales and impress clients, facilitating a smooth order intake process while enabling data-driven sales to guide your client towards their ideal order. 

At the heart of the Sales App you find [**Lookbook**](https://docs.colect.io/user/sales-app/broken-reference): highly visual digital versions of your traditional lookbook with compelling sales content, created to make your collection speak for itself.
