Commercial BI: separate activity from advancement in the funnel

2 min reading
Editorial illustration: Commercial BI: separate activity from advancement in the funnel

Calls and messages show effort, but do not prove progress in a negotiation. A commercial panel needs to distinguish activity carried out, next step agreed and result obtained.

How to evaluate this decision

Map events that represent useful interaction and step change criteria. Avoid comparing sellers without considering portfolio, offer and maturity of opportunities. Automatically logged activities may inflate counts. The report must allow investigating opportunities without evolution, without transforming a single indicator into a performance judgment.

Criteria for comparing proposals

  • Activity: separate attempted contact, effective interaction and administrative task.
  • Advance: use stage criteria and record returns or reopenings.
  • Context: segment by type of sale, portfolio and period of operation.

A scenario to discuss with the supplier

Hypothetical example: an automatic sequence generates dozens of emails, but no responses. Counting them as business conversations creates an appearance of productivity that doesn't tell you the status of opportunities.

What to validate upon delivery

Compare the dashboard to a sample of trades and their records. Check duplication of unrelated events and activities before using the numbers for prioritization.

Prepare the conversation about the project

Quantum9 can integrate CRM and channels for more useful business insights. Bring follow-up decisions and advancement criteria; the project must begin with the quality of the events that support the report.
