Overview

Every sales rep has been there. You work on closing a prospect for weeks, you finally discuss pricing, and at the last second, they back out. Mark them closed-lost and automate a sales flow to re-engage the opportunity after 90 days have passed. Use a B2B data intelligence platform like ZoomInfo to identify and reach out to other key decision-makers at the account — also known as Buying Committee members — in addition to your original contact. This will increase the closed-won rate of good-fit opportunities that were previously considered dead.

Driver Definitions

Re-engagement Success Rate (RSR) This metric measures how effective the re-engagement efforts are in reopening conversations with accounts that have opportunities previously marked as closed-lost. A high RSR indicates that the automated sales flow is successful in re-initiating contact and interest among these target accounts.

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.

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.
