Incredibly smart Revenue Signals to navigate you to the best sales game

1 min read

One of the major features of Revenue Grid are these automatically or manually generated Signals. They are intelligently guiding collective efforts towards winning deals. The Signals notify you about critical occurrences, so accountable employees don't miss a thing and always stay on top of the game.




Signals types

There are 5 types of signals and counting. Every type of signal serve a corresponding type of records in your CRM and Revenue Grid ecosystem.






Signals with scores

Some signals may have a score to notify about any important event on the way to winning an Opportunity. Any signal with negative score means a bad impact on winning a deal, while any positive signal means a push forward towards winning a deal. Upon receiving, the signal score adds up to the overall score of an Opportunity.

Score of a manually created signal is

+3 for a positive signal

-16 for a negative signal

The negative or positive score of automatically generated signals notifications is specified by an authorized employee on creating signals generation rule in Signals Builder.

 

Depending on its total score, an Opportunity is assigned a color that visualizes how it’s going:

  • Green (0+ ) – the Opportunity is healthy and is going well
  • Yellow (from -1 to -30) – the Opportunity needs attention
  • Red (-31 and less) – the Opportunity is at risk of being lost

By default, when an Opportunity is just created or there are no related signals, its status is set to Green (healthy).

Every Signal has one or more assignees

A signal can be assigned to more than one team member. There might be more than one signal of the same type, thought with different assignees each, under an opportunity. A Signal will not be generated for opportunities owners of which are not Revenue Grid users yet.


Monitor team member’s activity with Signals

You can set up a list of users, activities of whose you want to monitor. For example, you want to know with whom your team members have meetings tomorrow. You can have a daily signal which would compile a list of meetings your team members scheduled for any period of time. Such list of users can be created either by Salesforce hierarchy, or for cases when Salesforce hierarchy is not being maintained, by hand picking team members.


Can I see signals belonging to other users?

Yes, managerial level users can filter the Signal tab to signals that belong to someone particular.








Filter Signals feed

Add a quick memo Signal manually and assign

It can be a sales guiding advise or coaching recommendation. Set up notification date to meet deadlines, and link the signal to a Salesforce object for coherence.

You can also add a sentiment to your manual signal. When sentiment is negative, it will affect a related deal overall health.

Assign to a colleague and link to Salesforce object. Once assigned, the assignee will see your signal in their Action Center.
