Question
Why nobody reads your sales alerts channel.
People mute channels that cost attention and return nothing. A sales alerts channel usually fails because it posts facts rather than judgments, posts to everybody rather than to an owner, and posts too often.
Muting is rational.
Nobody mutes a channel that helps them. They mute channels where the hit rate is low enough that checking costs more than missing.
Treat it as data about the content rather than a discipline problem.
The three usual causes.
Facts instead of judgments. A field changed. So what.
Everybody instead of somebody. If a message is not mine, it is somebody else problem by default.
Too often. More than a few messages a day per person and the reading stops.
How to restart it.
Turn everything off. A channel with a bad reputation does not recover by adding more.
Start with one message a day per person, about their own deals, with a reason attached to every line.
Add a second alert type only once the first is being read and acted on.
What the message has to carry.
A number to scan, a reason to trust it, and something to do. Kaypo sends exactly that: the movers on your own book, the cause beside each one, and the deals that have gone quiet underneath.
Questions
How do you stop Slack notification fatigue?
Reduce to one message a day per person about their own work, with a reason attached. Adding filters to a channel people have already muted does not bring them back.
How many Slack alerts is too many?
More than a few a day per person and the reading stops. The threshold is lower than most teams assume, and once a channel is muted it stays muted.
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.
