Summary

These accounts were moving—until they weren’t. This play identifies opportunities with moderate product usage and a drop in engagement, giving sales a second chance to re-ignite interest and move the deal forward.

Why this works

  • Uses Accoil data to spot drop-offs in product engagement

  • Targets deals showing partial value realization

  • Focuses sales efforts where progress is possible, not speculativ


Goal

(1) For the reader

Revive qualified but stalled pipeline deals by targeting accounts showing mid-level engagement.

(2) For the company

Shortens pipeline lag and increases conversion rates by salvaging in-progress opportunities.


Accoil Signal

(1) Primary signal

  • Opportunity account status

  • No recent activity (ex. around 14 days)

  • Engagement Score hovering in the mid-range

  • Activation is mid-progress

(2) Additional insights

  • Workflow started but not completed

  • Account fit (industry alignment, revenue potential)

  • Admins or high-value users previously engaged


Action steps

    • Use:

      • No activity in 14+ days

      • Mid-range Engagement Score

      • Partial product activation

    • Optional: filter by opportunity stage, industry, or ARR potential (if traits configured)

  1. Investigate Usage Signals

    • Use the timeline view in Accoil to track when engagement dropped

    • Check feature history for abandoned actions

    • Identify if a key user or role went silent

  2. Trigger Personalized Outreach

    • Use connections to send insights to the tools your team uses

    • Email or call with a message tailored to usage history

    • Ask about specific workflows they started

    • Share feature benefits or integrations they may have missed

  3. Offer Value and Support

    • Share use-case content aligned to their industry

    • Offer strategy guidance, setup help, or access to a recorded demo

    • Optional: offer a limited trial extension or time-boxed upgrade path

  4. Track Movement in Accoil

    • Set alerts for re-engagement signals (logins, score spikes)

    • Update deal stage when engagement resumes

    • Loop sales and CS back in with context when movement resumes
