Salesloft

I recently logged a support case because several coworkers were having trouble importing a Salesforce report into Salesloft. The import would get stuck on the 100% screen and wouldn’t finish. Salesloft support confirmed it was a bug that their engineering team was investigating.I noticed that a new version of the Salesloft Chrome extension (v1.4.0) was released on 11/14/24, according to the release notes. I went ahead and updated the extension, but I didn’t see anything in the notes mentioning a fix for the import issue. Will the release notes be updated to reflect whether this bug was addressed?Here’s the link for reference:Salesloft Chrome Extension Release Notes

Has anyone implemented a single team cadence for a post-webinar follow up for both registered and actual attendees? We’d like to provide different messaging to each group on the first step. I was looking at leaving the email step blank and offering two templates for our reps to insert, depending on the lead. Any other ideas?

My coworkers and I have noticed the Salesloft Chrome extension banner appearing more frequently today. I checked the Salesloft Chrome extension release notes, and it looks like a bug fix was released on 11/5/24 to roll back to version 1.3.12 due to reported issues with the "Loft It" button.After reloading the browser, the banner still appears sporadically throughout the day. Do you know when this issue will be fully resolved?  

Will the articles from community.drift.com migrate over to this hub? A coworker wanted to share a discussion post with me related to "IntegrationRequest failed and no fallback available" failures in Drift that she found last week, but I get redirected to the Champions Hub homepage when I click the link and nothing pops up when I search "IntegrationRequest”. I’m not in desperate need of the info in the discussion, but it did bring up this point that I’m curious about.

XDR’s days are dominated by tasks – send emails, make calls, add contacts.  Without proper workflow management, it’s easy for key actions to slip through the cracks if you’re keeping track of everything on your own.  Salesloft’s Rhythm and Cadence Focus Zones help you stay organized, generate more pipeline, and make the most of your time.  Here’s how you can use these tools to streamline your day and level up your prospecting: 1.

You’re working with a well-established customer who’s seeing fantastic results using your product. Your main point of contact is happy, they’re engaged, and you can tell the partnership is going strong. Congrats!  Now is about the time you should be asking: Are there more opportunities and use cases for your product in their company? To figure this out, you’ll need to strategically sell into other areas in this account. That’s where the Cross-Sell Cadence comes in.  Your cross selling goal is to identify and connect with leaders outside of your primary point of contact and highlight the value your product has already delivered within their organization. Here’s how to make the most of this cadence to expand your reach within each account and demonstrate your product’s impact.  Build Out a Story of Success with a Case Study To start, identify how your product is already delivering value to one team and create a “mini case study” that showcases their wins.

Our team recently observed the appearance of a new “Loft It” button within Google Calendar (GCal) events, seemingly replacing the standard “Save” button. When users update a Google Calendar event and select the “Loft It” button, both a new GCal and Salesforce event are created, which also triggers an additional meeting notification for external participants.Key ConcernsDuplicate Notifications and Records: When the "Loft It" button is used, external recipients receive another notification for the meeting, which can lead to confusion. Additionally, multiple entries in GCal and Salesforce may appear as duplicate records, potentially cluttering calendars and systems. Documentation Gap: There’s currently no official Salesloft documentation that outlines the function and expected behavior of this feature. The existing knowledge article, last updated on November 21, 2023, still refers to the previous Chrome extension. The features between the two different extensions are different.  Saleslo

After a successful initial meeting with a customer’s leadership team, the real work begins. It’s one thing to make a strong first impression, but maintaining that connection over time can be the difference between losing a customer and re-engaging them. A Leader Cadence can help you build a thoughtful engagement plan that keeps the lines of communication open and demonstrates continued investment in the customer’s success. Here’s a look at a Leader Cadence: Best Practice Tips:Connect on LinkedIn and check daily for promotions, new roles, birthdays Send personal videos when these types of events occur, as one off emails in parallel with this cadence

Short pilots allow potential customers to experience your product’s value firsthand but in a limited window. It allows you to capture their first real interaction with your solution, which you can leverage to drive adoption.  During this window, however, time is of the essence. Customers are likely juggling other priorities, and without the right guidance, they could miss the chance to fully explore the product’s capabilities. This is where a cadence can come into play.  A Pilot Engagement Cadence can help you ensure the pilot goes smoothly and that the customer not only uses the product but sees real results quickly. Here’s a look at a Pilot Engagement Cadence:  Best Practice Tips:During the pilot, focus on building a relationship with the main point of contact. This is critical because they will need to forward emails to the team Use the weekly emails to gamify adoption. Shout out great users, and consider using a sending platform for gifts during the pilot.

The excitement when a new customer signs on is contagious– handshakes, congratulations, and promises of a long, fruitful partnership. But fast forward a few months, and the story often changes. That once-engaged customer might start slipping away—emails go unanswered, product usage drops, and suddenly, the partnership doesn’t feel so secure anymore.  It’s a situation every CSM dreads: the quiet warning signs of churn.  But what if there was a way to catch those signs early and take action before it's too late? That’s where a cadence can come in. A Proactive Action Cadence helps keep you in front of your customers, build relationships, and address concerns before they ever consider leaving.  Here’s a look at a Proactive Action Cadence: Best Practice Tips:Send personalized videos that provide best practices for areas with low customer usage Create a library of these cadences to have at your disposal Consider deploying a Proactive Action Cadence as part of your year-long engagement plan

Picture this: you’ve just wrapped up a task and want to send an update to stakeholders in a deal. It’s a simple, informational message that doesn’t require a response, but you need to send it to multiple stakeholders, which can be time consuming.  That’s when BCC (blind carbon copy) becomes your go-to tool. Salesloft allows you to send one-off emails to individual stakeholders, from the People Page.

Enter the Deal Progression Cadence.  A Deal Progression Cadence prompts you to engage the prospect to keep the conversation moving forward, and ultimately, advance to the next stage of the deal cycle.  Here are some tips for crafting a Deal Progression Cadence to re-engage lost deals:  Start with a recap email  Make the first step of your Deal Progression Cadence a recap email.

Picture this: You’ve spent hours crafting the perfect cadence, hitting send, and eagerly waiting for your inbox to light up with replies. But days pass, and the results aren’t quite what you expected. What went wrong? Is it your messaging, your targeting, or something else?  For Full Cycle Sellers, cadence performance can often feel like a mystery. But with the right Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and benchmarks, the answers can become more evident. Let's walk through the key metrics that can turn confusion into clarity: Bounce Rate (2%)Imagine sending emails, but they never reach your prospects. That’s exactly what happens with a high bounce rate. A bounce rate over 2% means something’s off—whether it’s outdated contact information or invalid emails, your message isn’t getting through. The fix: It’s time to dig deeper. Check your data sources, consider refreshing them, and explore other channels to reach your prospects. Think of it as rerouting a letter that’s been sent to the wron

If your team uses custom forecast categories or stages to forecast deals, you’re already taking steps toward a more personalized and effective sales process. But did you know you can further enhance your forecasting experience by customizing your rollup metrics to reflect these unique fields?  Here’s how you can take the default setup and fine-tune it to match your team’s workflow, giving you better insights and more accurate forecasts. 1.

This ensures that the numbers you

Sometimes, a deal slips away—a prospect chooses a competitor or decides to delay their decision. But that doesn’t mean the opportunity is gone forever. A Closed/Lost Nurture Cadence is your chance to keep the door open. A Closed Lost/Nurture Cadence prompts you to send thoughtful, periodic check-ins and valuable content to stakeholders 6-12 months after the lost or stalled deal. Staying engaged with stakeholders keeps the relationship warm and allows you to position yourself for the moment they’re ready to revisit the conversation. Here are some tips for Crafting a Closed/Lost Nurture Cadence to re-engage lost deals:  Start with Gratitude Your first email is a perfect opportunity to thank them for their consideration. Let them know you appreciate their time and that you’re committed to staying in touch for future opportunities.  Here’s an example email template: Hi [Prospect's Name], I hope this message finds you well!
