Goal: For AE’s to focus fully on prospects at events while BDR’s organize and launch prospects forward in Hubspot.
Workflow:
- Pre-event:
- Create a channel titled : Event-Sales-Triage (ex: VRMA-Sales-Triage)
- copy this & paste it to channel to remind yourself and everyone else of the process:
- Prospect is connected with and shows interest at event.
- AE gets contact info, details
- Update is sent to the ‘group’ (text or slack channel?) with contact info, details
- BDR triages
- Adds notes to Conference Excel Doc (do we need to create another excel doc or can we stick to HubSpot?)
- Creates Deal in Hubspot
- Choose “referral source breakdown” based on event name
- Creates a note in Hubspot using snippet: #eventnote
- Pin + Associate note
- Creates a FU task, assigned to the AE “[Event] FU” (fu = Follow Up 😉)
- Sets due date for 3 days unless otherwise specified in notes
- Refer to Roadshow List Spreadsheet and update:
- Column D: Select result from drop down (based on AE notes)
- Column E: If deal has been created, link in.
- Sample Requests are sent out (if requested buy AE)
- Tracking and shipping info is added into Hubspot pinned note (with AE notes).
- Add shipping address into “Shipping Address(es)” property in deal
- Create/add contacts based off of business card photos, conference tag photo or other info sent in group text
Key Aspects
👉 AE’s rely on the “[Event] FU” task for follow up - double check this is assigned to the correct AE with the correct due date.
👉 Cross-Reference Deals, Companies, Contacts prior to adding. “Clean up while you go” in Hubspot, ensuring all the correct parties are connected.
👉 If the prospect is triaged via someone who is not an AE (Joy/Bradie/Marcia/Max etc.) assign contact, deal, + task to AE based on market. Include in the pinned note who the prospect met at event.
