Question
Daily digest or real time alerts, and when each one is right.
Real time is correct when the information changes what somebody does in the next hour, which very little in a pipeline does. For everything else a daily digest is read and acted on where an event stream is skimmed.
The test for real time.
Would this change what the person does in the next hour. If not, it can wait until morning, and waiting makes it more likely to be read.
A buyer replying to a proposal passes. A stage moving does not.
Why a digest works better.
It arrives at a moment somebody is planning their day rather than mid task.
It can be ranked, so the most important thing is at the top instead of the most recent thing.
It can carry context, because there is room for a reason beside every number.
Use both, sparingly.
One digest each morning per person, plus a small number of threshold alerts for genuine interruptions.
If the alerts fire more than once or twice a week per person, the threshold is wrong.
How Kaypo splits it.
A morning digest per rep naming the movers with the reason beside each. Separately, alerts when a deal moves past a threshold you set, routed to the owner rather than a channel.
Questions
Are real time sales alerts better than a daily summary?
Only for things that change what somebody does in the next hour. For everything else a daily digest gets read and acted on, where an event stream gets skimmed.
When should a sales alert be real time?
When the buyer has done something that needs a response today. A buyer reply on a live proposal qualifies; a CRM field change does not.
It arrives in Slack
Every morning, each rep gets one message naming the deals on their own book that moved overnight, biggest mover first, with the reason beside each number and the deals that have gone quiet underneath.
