Overview
Personnel changes create great prospecting opportunities. For example, when an executive is promoted internally, they typically look to make their mark in the first 90 days, including evaluating existing technology and services and buying new ones. Getting in front of these executives early gives you the chance to influence their agenda and increase your odds of winning a deal. Plus, a new job is a natural conversation starter, since people are already fielding plenty of congratulations from their extended networks. Personnel moves can also reveal strategic changes at a company. For example, knowing which companies are expanding in data science or corporate finance can tell you a lot about where they’re headed in the near future.

Yield Model
Yield in $ Formula
Potential Yield = (TAV * CRR * CR / 10,000) * ADSKey Drivers
Driver Definitions
Champion Replacement Rate (CRR) This metric measures the success rate of identifying and establishing a new champion within an account when the original deal champion leaves the organization. The CRR is expressed as a percentage - a higher CRR suggests a more effective strategy in maintaining and strengthening relationships within the account despite changes in personnel.
Average Deal Size (ADS) This refers to the average revenue generated from each successful deal. Maximizing the average deal size is essential for increasing overall revenue, especially when the number of conversions is limited.
Target Account Volume (TAV) This is the total number of target accounts that are identified for this strategy.
Conversion Rate (CR) This metric indicates the proportion of leads that convert into customers. A higher conversion rate suggests a more effective engagement and follow-up strategy.
