Campaigns: Revive Closed Lost by targeting other decision makers

Overview

Revive accounts that have previously evaluated but didn’t purchase by engaging past champions or new decision makers that have since joined from other companies.

Why run it

Having a past champion or new stakeholder in your corner can quickly change the tide even if a past evaluation didn’t work out.

3. Customize your campaign workflow

  • If this is your first workflow, make sure you’ve reviewed the campaign workflows help article
  • Navigate to the campaign workflows page in UserGems
  • Select “create new campaign” 
  • Select the default “Revive Closed Lost by targeting other decision makers” campaign
  • This default campaign workflow should include the following actions:
    • Audience = Default “Revive Closed Lost by targeting other decision makers'” audience
    • Schedule = Default
    • Create prospects = Default
    • Delay = Default
    • Activate Gem-E = Default

4. Validate your audience

  • Click the "Audience" action
  • Select "Edit audience" to review the default audience
  • Click the wrench icon in the top right to download as a CSV
  • Take a random sample of 20 prospects:

5. Customize your schedule & limits

  • Default schedule will limit to 100 prospects sent at 8am EST.
  • The schedule wont begin running until the entire workflow is activated
  • Click the "Schedule & limits" action
  • Customize the schedule to your preferences

6. Confirm your create or update prospect rules

  • Default creation rules be set to your own default CRM export settings
  • In most cases this step shouldn't need customization since the record creation rules should generally always follow the same criteria

7. Keep, extend, or delete default delay

  • The default delay between activating Gem-E is 30 minutes
  • This delay is intended to leave time for 3rd party routing tools like LeanData or Chilipiper to run assignments before Gem-E creates messaging.
  • If you're using a routing tool, you'll likely want to keep or extend this step.
  • If you're not using a routing tool, it's optional to keep this step since it won't have any direct impact

8. Review Activate Gem-E action

  • In most cases, you shouldn't need to adjust anything in this step other than the number of emails generated.
  • There is an option to override default prompts here which should only be used for one-off micro campaigns.
  • Default Gem-E activation is to create 3 subjects and 7 emails for this campaign.
  • If you're not using the recommended sequence structure and have less or more AI emails, adjust the toggles accordingly.

9. Add an action to enroll in sequence / cadence or update CRM fields

  • If using Outreach / Salesloft:
    • Select "Add action" at the bottom of the workflow
    • Select "Add to sequence" for Outreach or "Add to Cadence" for Salesloft
    • Select the sequence / cadence you created for this campaign
    • Select who to enroll as
      • Most common option is to enroll as the record owner assuming we've set up assignment rules that way
  • If using any other SEP or sequencing tool:
    • Select "add action" at the bottom of the workflow
    • Select "Update CRM fields"
    • If you're only creating contacts or leads select the appropriate option then map each Gem-E field created in your CRM with the dynamic value in UseGems
    • If you're creating contacts & leads with UserGems, you'll need to add this action twice, once for the lead object, and once for the contact object
