When was the last time you checked your Capture settings?

If your organization has been using Capture for a while, checking the settings and looking at the logs periodically is a good idea. This will help you get the most out of your integration. The Capture settings panel has recently had some helpful additions that make tweaking and tuning your settings much more accessible. Some settings were previously only modified via your CSM or a support case, so you may not have even realized they existed! I always begin by making sure Capture is not in Preview Mode and is writing back to the CRM. However, toggling this off and putting it in Preview Mode can be helpful when making settings changes to ensure that a tweak doesn’t have unintended effects that get written back to Salesforce! This can also be helpful when considering some of the other recommendations to come. Next, for contacts, I always want to look for contacts that could not be written back due to account matching issues. To do that, use the filters to find contacts with “No Match Foun

Average/Combined CRM Score

Does anyone know of a way to use an aggregation of CRM scores as a high level view of pipeline health? Either natively within Clari, or via export? Currently export via the Opportunities page excludes CRM score.

How to insert a scheduler link in a master flow?

Hey all - I’m new to Groove and I’m trying trying to build a master flow that many of my reps can use. We previously used Outreach and would frequently include the variable {{sender.calendar_url}} in flows to allow multiple people to use the flow and include their personal calendar/scheduler link. Is there a merge field like this for Groove?

Guide to Salesforce Role Hierarchy

What is the Role Hierarchy? The Salesforce Role Hierarchy allows you to define and manage data visibility and access for users within your organization. Based on their role, you can control who can view or edit certain records, such as accounts, leads, opportunities, and other objects. What are the Benefits of Setting Up the Role Hierarchy? Access Control: A role hierarchy allows your company to control access to data and functionality within Salesforce. You can grant each role specific permissions, which cascade down to the users in the roles beneath it. You can ensure that individuals can only access authorized data and perform authorized actions. Reporting: The role hierarchy also allows you to report based on roles. You can see how many opportunities, leads, or cases each role in the hierarchy is working. This information can help management make informed decisions about resource allocation and identify areas for improvement. Sales Management: Sales teams can use the role hierarchy

How to Attract and Retain Top Revenue Talent

Talent is everything in revenue. Sure, we spend a lot of time talking about AI, forecasting, and cadences. But these tools support reps in the trenches and the teams that surround them. You can have the best toolset in the world, but if your talent isn’t there the numbers won’t be either. For revenue leaders, it’s mission critical to attract and retain top talent. And this pursuit can become a full-time job without the right framework to guide your efforts. Today, I’d like to share a structured approach to talent, backed by 10 years of building at Clari. Use this framework to stack your team with A+ players and build a legendary career in revenue. Attract talent with your core values There’s a lot of noise when it comes to attracting talent. Talk to a dozen leaders and you’ll get a dozen opinions, ranging from complex interview schemes to referral-only hiring practices. For me, talent is simpler than that. It starts and ends with values. When you define what your team is about and how

Why is Revenue Leak Today’s Hot Topic?Revenue Leak

Drip. Drip. Drip. The leak may be hard to find, but you know it’s coming from inside the house. Every quarter, thousands of dollars (if not millions) are slowly leaking out of your business. We aren’t talking about physical plumbing. We are talking about breakdowns across your revenue process resulting in revenue leak. What is revenue leak? It’s the biggest business problem hiding in plain sight, impacting all companies across all industries. It represents the revenue you’ve already worked hard to earn but have yet to capture. And according to our Clari Labs research, 14.9% of revenue is lost every year due to revenue leak. It can show up in a handful of sneaky scenarios. Maybe the high-visibility enterprise deal you needed to come in slipped to next quarter. Maybe one of your top sellers gave away another one of their famous generous discounts. Maybe your win rates have decreased slowly over time without a clear culprit. Or maybe that huge customer you thought you could count on churn

Observations from Collision Toronto

It’s been a few weeks since the Collision conference in Toronto but I’m still energized from the incredible conversations, panels, and networking opportunities with so many impressive tech and business leaders. Sharon Goldman, Fortune’s AI reporter, and I took the stage for a panel on, “How AI Is Transforming SaaS Innovation.” I shared my view that we’re near the peak of the “AI hype curve.” I’d estimate we’re seeing anywhere from 10 to 25 startups popping up every day around GenAI. Most of those will fail. That’s no different than what we see with every other technology paradigm shift. But even so, we can’t underestimate the positive impact AI is already having on SaaS innovation. And as we come out of the hype curve into more mainstream adoption, that impact will only increase. AI is fundamentally transforming the landscape of SaaS development, helping companies quickly solve previously intractable problems. At Clari, we’ve leveraged Predictive AI for years, using structured historic

How to Deploy the Most Powerful Revenue Cadence

Cadences drive revenue growth, plain and simple. Teams that run a consistent, organized process can bank on growing the bottom line quarter-after-quarter. Meanwhile, teams that rely on ad-hoc reviews and one-off practices are opening the door to inconsistent performance and revenue leak. Today, let’s take a look at how top leaders are using a 13-week revenue cadence to capture more opportunities and build a legendary career in revenue. What is a 13-week revenue cadence? A revenue cadence is the ongoing motion of moments that teams leverage across quarters to deliver predictable, repeatable revenue processes. In other words, it’s the engine that powers your revenue vehicle. Throughout the quarter (or 13 weeks), your revenue team engages in countless moments that make or break the company’s success. Sales rep and manager one-on-ones, forecast calls, pipeline calls, board preparation, quarterly business reviews, and more. To go a step further, many teams break their quarter down into thre

Best Practices for Email Engagement

Strategy #1: Personalized Message Within the first 8 seconds, you have the prospect’s attention. Make it count by showing you’ve done your research and add a personal touch in the introduction. Why Personalization is Important Personalization is a key factor to increase response rate Personalizing the first part of your email message can double your reply rate. Most successful Reps take the time to do their research and cut through the noise using Personalization Personalization doesn’t need to be long, focus on less than 100 words in your intro to make an impactful message. Strategy #2: Identify Pain and Provide a Solution Identify common challenges based on the Client Profile and provide actionable solutions related to the challenges identified that your product or service has solved in the past. Strategy #3: Call to Action The closing should always end with an action for the prospect to follow-up on. Directly make an ask to work together on a specific solution.

Is Export option available for your Sales Reps?

Hi all, For our field reps(=Individual contributors) the option to export reports either from Clari/SFDC is excluded, mainly for data integrity and security reasons. Now I wish o challenge this one and re-open it for export by field reps. I wonder how this is being handled in other companies, what is the best practice and if the majority of companies allow/don't allow field rep export reports.

Use the 3 Ps to Maintain Motivation (and Grow Your Revenue Career)Blog

The other day, I was reflecting on my time with Clari — 11 years and counting. Sometimes our founding feels like forever ago. Other times it feels like only yesterday. And as I thought more about the years since we’ve started, a thought crept to the front of my mind. I’m more inspired and excited than I’ve ever been. Maintaining motivation for a decade takes a thoughtful approach. It’s easy to push ahead when things are going well. But when you get slammed, it’s a different story. You question your decisions. Worry about the future. Feel burned out. True business-building motivation requires what my friend and fellow CEO, Mark Gainey, calls the 3 Ps: persistence, patience, and perspective. Today, I’d like to share Mark’s simple three-part framework. Use it to stay motivated, driven, and ready to overcome any career challenge that comes your way. Let’s take a look. 1. Persistence Motivation can be fickle. No doubt, you’ve seen professionals who are overflowing with motivation. They burs
