Note: The difference between Single line and multiline script STEP is that, in a single step the telemarketer can choose only one response out of the available response. And multiline script step allows the telemarketer to choose one or more responses out of the available responses. (Please see the below image of Sales script test form; Multiline Script type)

2.8.3 How to Create BRANCH Script Step

Branch Script Step: A branch step determines the next step to be executed based on the scores accumulated in the previous steps. Branch step runs in background on actual execution of Sales Script.

Since, the next STEP is decided based on the scores accumulated in the previous steps. We create Ranges where the next steps are decided if the cumulated score falls in a certain range. Creation of ranges is discussed in the above section.

Step 1 Follow the instruction given in the above section 2.8 and come to the new Script step form.
