The latest updates and product improvements.

Introducing Value Rank Badges for Enhanced Engagement

We are excited to announce a new feature that will significantly enhance your user experience: Value Rank Badges, which you can find on the company and contact overview pages.

What's a Value Rank Badge?

Value Rank Badges indicate the relative value ranks of your companies and contacts. These badges visually represent rankings such as Number 1, Top 10, and Top 75, making it easier to identify your most valuable relationships at a glance. Your biggest customer will show as rank 1, your second to tenth largest customer will show the badge "Top 10," and so on up to 75.

The badges provide a quick and clear visual indicator of the engagement status of your contacts and companies, helping you prioritize interactions and focus on key stakeholders more efficiently.

By displaying these value ranks directly on the dashboard and index pages, you can navigate large datasets more efficiently and make better-informed decisions.
These enhancements align with our mission to help you prevent customer churn by monitoring engagement levels. The value rank badges will allow you to quickly identify relationships that might be at risk of going stale, enabling you to take proactive measures to maintain strong customer relationships.
We encourage you to explore these new features and see how they can benefit your workflow. If you have any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team.

Happy engaging!

Enhanced Prioritization for Customer Relationship Management

We are excited to announce the introduction of an enhanced prioritization feature designed to help you manage your customer relationships more effectively. 

This feature calculates a 'priority' score for each contact and company based on several key engagement metrics. 

Here's how it works:
  • Engagement Metrics: The priority score is derived from past engagements, last engagement date, next engagement date, and the value rank of the contact or company.
  • Weighted Factors: Past engagements, last engagement date, and next engagement date each contribute equally to the priority score, while the value rank is weighted more heavily to reflect its importance.
  • Background Jobs: New asynchronous background jobs have been added to ensure that priority scores are always up-to-date, integrating seamlessly with HubSpot.
This new feature will significantly enhance your ability to focus on high-priority relationships, thereby improving customer engagement and reducing churn. With more accurate prioritization, you'll be able to allocate your time and resources more effectively, ensuring that no valuable customer relationship goes stale.

We encourage you to explore this feature and provide feedback on your experience. Your insights will be invaluable as we continue to refine and improve our product.

Thank you for using Stalemate. We're committed to helping you maintain strong, lasting relationships with your customers.
