Business Pulse

The business pulse is a score that indicates whether the business of an account is thriving and the needs and priorities are continuously aligned to the offerings of Spotdraft. This score should be instrumental in keeping customer facing teams aware about upsell/cross-sell opportunities, external factors that may indicate risk of churn, or just information that helps the teams drive conversations with their customers in a meaningful manner.

Team and Spends

Key Departments

At a department level (such as legal, sales and finance) we track the following team-level metrics:
Current team size
Increase or decrease in size over past 6 months
Executive arrivals or departures from the teams
Hiring Pipeline in these teams

Specific Important Roles Coming Up

At a role level (such as general counsel and legal ops) we will track at a individual/person level for the following metrics:
Existing number of employees in these roles
Name and details of the top level people in such roles
New arrivals in any such role in the past 6 months.
Any departures in any such role (since the time the roles are tracked)
Current or past job openings in these specific roles

Needs Identified from Jobs New

An accounts needs and priorities are often very well explain in their job openings. The platform tracks past as well as current openings and filters out the needs mentioned in those openings that align with the offerings or different use cases solved by Spotdraft.
For example, if the need for “employee contract management” or “contracts for ESOPs” is found in any of the positions, it will be highlighted as an identified need in HR Use Case.

Spends on Tools

From the technographic data of all accounts, the following 2 insights are extracted:
Is the account in the process of spending on more tools (acquiring cycle) or cutting down on tool spends (consolidation cycle) in the current quarter.
Any relevant tools like “Docusign” can be tracked to understand if Spotdraft can replace that tool or introduce a new use case that makes Spotdraft more valuable for that account.
