Capture Historical Data With Analytic

Snapshots Role Use Case Example

Chief Sales Officer Wants to see trends in pipeline

quality

Wants to see a trend of how long deals stay in

specific stages. They set up an analytic snapshot

looking at the opportunity history report, for the last

90 days of closed deals, running once a month, and

grouped by “from state”, looking at average days of

stage. This will capture this data and allow the

business to see whether changes in sales process

and tools change stage dwell time.

Chief Marketing

Officer

Wants to see campaign

summaries on effectiveness and

reach

Wants to see campaign effectiveness over time as

campaigns should lead to leads, opportunities, and

closed/won deals. They would snapshot reports on

lead status by campaign, and opportunity status

by campaign every week, then be able to show how

many leads and opportunities were received and

converted from each campaign

Service Manager Wants to see trends per-center

call close rates and times

Wants to see the trend of close rates of calls and

the times to close calls. They set up a report of close

rate and call time for the last day, then snapshot these

summaries every day.

Page 71: Bluewolf and salesforce.com Transforming Sales Executive Forum

reports that allow analysis of aggregate data

› Use clicks, not code to analyze trend data

› Evaluate differences between months/weeks/days of data

› Win rates, coverage ratios, actual vs. goal comparisons

Previous Group Value (PREVGROUPVAL)

› returns the value of the selected summary field from the previous summary

row at the grouping level that you specify.

Parent Group Value (PARENTGROUPVAL):

› returns the value of the selected summary field from the parent grouping

level that you specify (level above the grouping level where you chose to

display the formula)
