Hello there! Ryan here, one of your weekly Office Hours hosts. You probably noticed that we started covering a featured topic every week (i.e. Dashboards, Pulse, Trend, Flow, Expanded View). I am curious, what other topics would you like to see us cover? Should we have a rotating calendar of 5 or 6 topics so that you can join us when you have questions about those? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below! 

For those those of you whose fiscal year begins in January, the end of this month marks the end of Q2, which means QBRs are just around the corner. 🕺 #hustle What is on the agenda for your QBR meetings, and why? How do you organize your QBRs to cover what’s most important, and what do you leave out (or leave for another time)?

What’s a really great podcast, case study, article, or interview you found recently? Care to share it with the community? I’m thinking of creating a space where we can all share our favorite content and subscriptions and curious what’s out there that you all like best.

Looking for inspiration and how-to from the community. Thanks

Check out Shruti Kapoor’s post from the Clari blog below! See the bottom of this thread to engage with the community on this topic! You've got a sales meeting with a big company. You're suited up, you've got a shiny demo deck, and you could rattle off your pitch in your sleep.And still, when the meeting ends, the client looks doubtful. You know that look. Closed-lost deal. For the fifth time in a row.Look up as many sales best practices as you want, but the key to closing large sales accounts is not a firm handshake or an amazing presentation. At best, these are the sizzles, not the steak.Abraham Lincoln famously said, if he had six hours to chop down a tree, he’d spend the first four sharpening the axe. In other words, laying in the groundwork. That’s the same philosophy behind Miller Heiman Strategic Selling.Introduced in 1985 by consultants Robert Heiman and Stephen Heiman, the sales method provides a proven framework for sales professionals to understand B2B selling and consistentl

As a Sales Manager you always want the best for your reps. You want to ensure that your reps get all the inputs they need so they are able to go on to build value, instill confidence in customers and thereby close as many deals as they can.  Typically, sales managers approach coaching on Copilot in the following three ways -Review calls and then share verbal feedback with the reps during their weekly 1:1s Review calls and then share feedback using comments within Copilot by tagging (“@ mentioning”) the reps at relevant points in the calls Review calls and then leverage a scorecard template within Copilot to leave a score for their repsToday, I would like to throw more light on their approach to coaching reps using our scorecards feature. Providing reps with a call score that is based on various skills provides a more structured approach to coaching. The benefit of this is two fold. From a rep standpoint: It helps a rep look back on how they have fared over a period of time with respect

What happens when three powerhouse sales and marketing pros are each given a microphone to discuss improving prospect outreach?You get four power plays that will break through the (inbox) noise.Our very own Kyle Coleman (CMO) and Devin Reed (Head of Content) sat down with Morgan J Ingram, founder of Ascension Media Productions, to talk about why most prospecting tactics fail and, of course, how to flip the script to close more deals using four proven power plays.First, here's why most prospecting tactics failKyle kicked off the conversation by being quite blunt:Most prospecting tactics fail because "people don't want to do hard things. People expect some shortcuts, some easy buttons they can press, and some silver bullets that will fill their funnel. It's just not how it works. To be successful, you have to do the hard work. You have to do the things that other people aren't able or willing to do to break through the noise and to stand out."Morgan leaned into a cooking analogy: "Everyb

Last week I spoke with the Head of RevOps at a company that’s doing $1B in ARR in their SaaS business.I told him I could identify 15% of their revenue they’re losing right now to revenue leak.That’s $150,000,000.They were shocked – how?Here’s what I told them:You’re stuck in a financial model and not thinking about the actual process in which you run revenue. You need to know:1. How your teams are running revenue.2. The process behind your team's 13 week cadence.3. How that’s going from the reps all the way up to execs.Once you get out of the number crunching exercise, you can start optimizing how you run revenue and collaborate in every meeting.That was the “aha!” moment.Change the way you think about revenue and start winning more revenue moments.

Hi Team, I noticed that the filter for Deal Size allows us to filter deals “Less than 0” or deals “$0-1k” but not to exclude deals that are actually $0. I am requesting an update to this Filter as our organization can tend to have deals that are exactly $0 that need to be excluded / removed via Filter and there is no way to currently do this without also excluding low $ deals.
