Settings for Steps and Activities

In Sales Insight, create a sequence.

To help your team’s sales cadence, we can construct timed sequences of activities. Each stage in the sequence generates a work item for the seller to whom it is assigned in the sales accelerator work list.

Select Sales Accelerator from the Sales Insight Settings menu. Then, under Sequence, make a new sequence. You can also make changes to an existing sequence. Give the record a name, a brief description, and a Record Type. It’s Lead in this demonstration. Then press the Next button.

To our sequence, we can now add steps like Email, Automated Email, Phone Call, Task, and Set Wait Time. You can add automated processes like updating a field or proceeding on to another topic.
