Step 1: Identify Accounts with Previous Closed-Lost Opportunities
Step 2: Monitor Accounts for Signals
Signals are interesting trigger events that indicate potential renewed interest or potential need. They also provide context (i.e. reasons) for your team to reach out.
1. Contact-Level Signals
- Past Champions: Previous advocates who may still favor your solution.
- New Hires & Promotions: New decision-makers or influencers who may bring fresh perspectives.
2. Account-Level Signals
- Website Activity: Visits to high-intent pages (pricing, demo request, case studies).
- New Funding: Recently announced new funding rounds, which often precede budget allocations
.
Step 3: Create Workflows
Create a workflow to drive adoption and timely execution from your team.
- Option 1: Set up automated Slack or email notifications to provide your team with necessary context and a clear Action to execute.
- Option 2: Automatically add the right contacts into a relevant email sequence "Closed Lost with Past Champions", "Closed Lost with New Hires", "Closed Lost visit Website", etc.
Step 4: Outreach
Tailor your messages based on the signals and combine them with any closed-lost reasons or notes about the accounts (found in your CRM).
<div class="pro-tip">With UserGems: Gem-E automatically combines signals and CRM data to draft messaging for your team. You only need 1 sequence.</div>
