A practical example
Example: a manager reviews a rep's week and sees 40 calls, 60 emails and 6 demos logged, with most demos clustered on accounts that later stalled, prompting a conversation about early qualification.
What to evaluate before investing
- Confirm which channels capture automatically (email, calendar, phone) and which require manual logging.
- Check that activities roll up to deal and account level, not just contact level.
- Verify you can set activity targets per rep and report progress without custom reports.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Activity volume is an input, not a result; tracking more actions can incentivize busywork unless you pair counts with stage progression and quality reviews.
