When big deals are about to hit, or the end-of-quarter sales sprint is in high gear, it's all hands on deck. Sales leaders and executives try to rally the full organization to get deals across the line. But is the rally cry enough? How do you stay on top of critical closing metrics and keep everyone motivated towards hitting top-line revenue goals?

 

Meet Live Deal Feeds, a part of Quip for Customer 360

Live Deal Feeds send real-time notifications on which deals are closing, which deals are pushing out a quarter, and why. It’s a key use case in Quip for Customer 360, which directly connects productivity tools and CRM to empower teams with collaborative documents and processes. With the Live Deal Feed, there’s no more waiting for weeks after the quarter to share out sales results with the broader team. No more slogging through context-setting emails or meetings to compel non-sales teammates to pitch in on specific deals. Now your entire organization can move at the speed of your sales team!

 

How it works

Live Deal Feeds display real-time Salesforce data in easy-to-digest tables and charts, combined with a running feed of deal alerts and team conversations. By customizing what appears in the feed (such as which deals to include and which team members to highlight), you can match your top-level strategies to day-to-day results. Plus everything is available in a single, mobile-friendly Quip document, so you can stay on top of closing metrics while on the go.

We debuted the Live Deal Feed within the Quip team earlier this year and the engagement has been incredible.

"Quip has been a game changer in how I accurately run, call, and drive behavior in my business from the start to crunch time in a given quarter. Can’t live without it!” said McLure Foote, SVP, Sales, Salesforce.
