Mark, a diligent RevOps leader, logs into his dashboard before the weekly calls, hoping to pull a comprehensive report on the GTM team's funnel and conversion performance over the past week.
But he's faced with a maze of data from various sources. Turning to spreadsheets and traditional tools only adds to the chaos. The constant specters of inaccurate data, inconsistencies through the stages, and the sheer complexity of juggling multiple tools loom large.
Every week, it feels like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle with pieces from different sets, all while racing against the clock.
Across the -virtual- office, Julia, the CRO, browses her inbox, awaiting Mark’s report. She isn't just looking for numbers; she needs a clear, decipherable story of the sales journey — from lead creation to deal closure.
She's after insights: Why do some opportunities stagnate? What differentiates a won deal from a lost one? It's not just about gauging past performance; it's about crafting a strategy for the future.
Yet, she often finds herself staring at dense spreadsheets, trying to glean meaning from rows and columns of raw data. Every obscured data point is a missed strategic opportunity.
It's the reality for many businesses, where RevOps leaders grapple with data intricacies and CROs yearn for actionable insights.
At BoostUp, we've recognized this dichotomy, and we're stepping up to bridge the gap.
The Shortcomings of Traditional Funnel Analysis
Mark and Julia share a common challenge: traditional tools and spreadsheets don’t work for funnel and conversion analysis and often lead to discrepancies while lacking real-time responsiveness.
These traditional methods:
- Require manual data entry, leading to potential errors.
- Lack real-time insights, causing delays in decision-making.
- Miss out on capturing the dynamic, historical nature of the sales funnel.
- Aren't tailored to the specific needs of RevOps and CRO roles.
BoostUp's Funnel Analytics: Addressing the Pressing Challenges
In the world of sales, there are three prevailing challenges when analyzing the funnel:
Accuracy: Every step in a sales funnel is crucial, and capturing its essence is paramount. Traditional tools like spreadsheets are prone to miscalculations, leading to misaligned strategies. A minor oversight in this arena can result in a skewed understanding of your entire sales funnel.
Complexity: What should be straightforward - from aggregating data to crafting a meaningful funnel - often becomes convoluted. Challenges like skipped stages or inconsistent definitions among GTM teams further complicate the analysis. Accurately and comprehensively capturing all historical snapshots of opportunity data is crucial for building an accurate funnel. That requires a full data workflow to be built, one that can capture and store changes to opportunity data to a data warehouse in real-time, and can then report on those changes in real-time. This is incredibly hard to build and maintain.
Granularity: The devil is in the details. Many conventional tools don’t permit an in-depth look into funnel metrics for specific lead sources, regions, segments, or reps, and don’t allow a drill down into accounts or opportunities.. This lack of granularity hinders precise assessments, as users can't analyze opportunities based on specific variables.
