Call Plans
Call plans:
- Are useful in account, opportunity, portfolio/territory, and partner planning
- Are made up of one or more plan objects, or "sections"
- Allow you and your team to effectively prepare for key customer meetings
- Set realistic expectations for meetings
- Ensure all team members are working towards common goals in meetings
- Drive accountability and clarity for the account or opportunity team by setting expectations for roles and responsibilities during meetings and as follow-ups to the meetings
- Fill out a call plan before each meeting.
- Update relevant call plan sections after each meeting. Any intelligence you gain helps build a cohesive picture around your opportunity.
- You may share certain sections of the call plan with your customer in anticipation of a meeting. If you do so, be sure to take content sensitivity into consideration when building the call plan.
- Navigate to portfolio/territory, an account, opportunity, or partner.
