🛠 Hands-on Exercises

The Field Intelligence Loopback
  • Action: Sync your calendar and ensure the ShiftUp Notetaker is invited to your next discovery or strategy session.
  • Action: Host a meeting with a prospect using ShiftUp Meetings. After the meeting, verify that the meeting is correctly associated with the corresponding Salesforce account and opportunity along with the ShiftUp Account Plan and Strategy.
  • Action: View the Activity tab to see how ShiftUp provides a single view into all the interactions with this account, including your ShiftUp meeting.
  • Action: For intelligence gathered outside of recorded meetings—such as a direct phone call or an onsite discussion - manually enter a new Account Note to document anything that could better inform the account and/or strategy. This could include mentions of competitors, newly identified pain points, or new stakeholders such as a key influencer.
  • Achievement: You have successfully closed the loop between the field and your strategy. By feeding real-world insights back into ShiftUp, you’ve ensured your AI-driven pursuit plan evolves with the live reality of the deal.
Executive Alignment
  • Action: Download the Business Case PDF within ShiftUp and review it with your champion to confirm alignment on the problem, solution, and ROI.
  • Action: Use Account Notes to update the business case after reviewing it with your champion.
  • Achievement: You have professionalized your justification, providing your champion with the “Business Case” required to secure internal budget and approval.
Deal De-Risking
  • Action: Open the MEDDPICC Scorecard for an active strategy and identify one specific gap (e.g., Economic Buyer or Decision Criteria). Take action to close the gap.
  • Action: If the evidence of closing this gap isn’t captured in the activity, use an Account Note to inform the strategy. For example, if you have identified the Executive Buyer outside of a ShiftUp Meeting, add an Account Note to inform ShiftUp.
  • Action: Once you’ve closed the gap and ShiftUp has been informed, note the change in the Meddpicc and Confidence score. (Note - Refreshes can take a few hours to complete).
  • Achievement: You have objectively identified a blind spot in your deal and established the next step to close that gap to increase your confidence score.

🎯 Outcomes

  • Evidence-Based Deal Evolution: You have moved beyond static plans. By feeding real-world meeting insights and field intelligence back into ShiftUp, you’ve proven you can evolve your pursuit strategy in real-time based on the actual “ground truth” of the deal.
  • Executive-Level Partnership: By deploying the Business Case, you’ve transitioned from a vendor to a strategic consultant. You are now providing your champions with the high-level ROI justification they need to navigate internal approvals and secure budget.
  • Objective Pipeline Integrity: Through the MEDDPICC Audit and History Tracking, you’ve moved from “gut-feel” forecasting to data-driven accuracy. You can now objectively identify deal risks, take surgical action to close gaps, and quantify your strategy’s increasing strength over time.
