Crossbeam Copilot Overview

Crossbeam Copilot puts Ecosystem Intelligence in the hands of sellers where they work every day. With access to Copilot, sellers can:

Prospect Smarter

  • Identify which partners are the best to help provide insights, introductions, or assistance with target accounts. And then reach out to them directly from within the app.

  • Access enriched contacts with signals like “Decision-maker” and “Economic Buyer” to help identify the best contacts to reach out to. And add them to your CRM if they’re missing!

Close Deals Faster

  • Leverage Ecosystem-Led Growth plays packed with relevant actions sellers can take based on partner status and contextual insight for every deal.

Conditions to See Plays and Contacts

Plays

There are various conditions to make plays available to your team. If your partner is sharing Customer Population and Open Opportunity Population, as well as opportunity level data, you will have access to most plays available in Copilot.

For every Play except Pitch the Stack, the partner needs to be sharing the account owner’s name and email. This is required because the Play instructs you to reach out to the account owner, so without those details, Crossbeam won't have any next steps to give you.

Example Play: Recently Won

  • Conditions:

    • Your partner closed this deal in the last 90 days

    • This is your Prospect or Open Opportunity

    • Partner is sharing account owner name and email

  • Outcomes:

    • Find the Champion and Economic buyer

    • Validate your contacts and get the scoop on the sales process.

Contacts

The Contacts Tab shows all contacts shared by your partners on Crossbeam. If a contact isn't in your CRM, Crossbeam will display Add to CRM, allowing you to add the new contact directly to your Salesforce.

Using the Plays and Contacts in Crossbeam Copilot for Salesforce

Contacts Tab

The contact tab surfaces contacts partners are sharing that you might not have on your end. This list of contacts provides additional context based on the shared number of partners and partner activity to make them more appealing for you to reach out to. Ecosystem Intelligence signals are also piped into these contacts to help you know who the decision-maker might be, or who just recently had activity with your key partner.


Plays Tab

This tab provides relevant actions you can take depending on the partner status with the account and the additional data available. Quickly locate the Partners who have the account in their Customers Population if you see the label Customers highlighted in orange with a star. Additionally, you can see the custom Partner Tags from Crossbeam for each Partner.

Click, View Plays Details to open available Plays.


Select Risk & Conditions to view details about the Play, who it's best suited for, key conditions, and potential risks.
