Deal Risk and Momentum Indicators

Overview

There's a lot of info on deal risk and momentum in the Insights Panel. Sometimes, your key indicators get lost in all that data, and you don’t get the quick insights you need to make better decisions.

Risk and Momentum Indicators surface key insights, so you and your team can streamline your pipeline inspection process and focus on key deals and relationships. 🤝 Make sure you and your team understand how to read these indicators to capitalize on opportunities and mitigate any potential risk to keep deals moving forward.

There are two types of indicators:

Standard Activity Indicators: These indicators track progress across deals, like "No upcoming meeting scheduled."

Relationship Activity Indicators: These indicators track relationships within a deal, like "6 or more people are involved with this deal."

Indicators appear both on opportunities in the Opportunity grid and also in the Insights Panel:
