Why use Deeto in Salesforce

Connecting Deeto to your CRM is the first step to creating a built-in process that integrates into your sales cycle seamlessly. Your sales team is likely busy, and our goal is to make the introduction of references into their workflow as seamless as possible. This integration bridges this new asset into your team’s existing environment to ensure that it is accessible at all times.

The end-to-end process

When a prospect asks for a reference — or when you decide proactively to offer one — here is the full flow from start to finish:
  1. AE is either asked for a reference by the prospect, or proactively suggests a reference call
  2. AE follows the steps below to connect the prospect with references through Salesforce
  3. Deeto sends the prospect a personalized page with the selected references and their content
  4. The prospect views the page and selects which reference(s) they want to connect with
  5. The prospect suggests time slots for the reference call
  6. The selected references receive an email request with the suggested time slots
  7. Each reference selects a time — or suggests new slots if none work
  8. If new slots are suggested, the process repeats until both parties agree
  9. Calendar invites are sent automatically to both prospect and reference
  10. A reminder is sent to both parties before the call
  11. After the call, the sales rep receives call details including notes from the reference and prospect via email notification
Note: Sales reps can track everything in this process both from their Deeto dashboards and from received notifications.

Best practices

For prospects

Be proactive — lead with authenticity by proactively sharing relevant content ahead of the initial call. Define the reference call stage within your sales process. Creating a process is key to success. Adding Deeto as a set stage within your sales cycle will help ensure maximum value. Our top customers have a Deeto step in their sales process for triggering reference calls. Let NPS scores guide timing — use NPS scores to determine customer satisfaction levels prior to inviting them to Deeto. A score of 8 or above is ideal.

For references

Invite at the right moment — the best time to invite a reference is 60 days after onboarding (pending that onboarding went smoothly), during a QBR, or right after they choose to renew their contract. Lead with their gain — make sure to communicate what’s in it for them, whether that is monetary rewards, networking opportunities, or early access to new features. Consider adding a perk to the renewal process if they become a reference.

Tracking the process

After sending an invitation, track progress directly in Deeto dashboards and notifications. You will receive notifications when:
  • A prospect views their reference page
  • A reference accepts or declines a call request
  • A call is scheduled
  • Post-call notes from the reference and prospect are available
