Challenge

Salesforce doesn’t include relationship maps

Your sales reps are relying on scattered notes and outdated org charts outside of Salesforce, resulting in poor account planning, rocky account handoffs, and missing context.

Account notes are scattered

Without a relationship mapping tool in Salesforce, sales reps are left to take notes externally in Google Docs, Quip, or their notebooks.

Relationship context is missing

Salesforce can store a list of contacts related to an opportunity, but it doesn’t illustrate how they are connected or influence deals.

Attribution is missed

Because it’s a tedious process, reps often don’t add many contact roles on an opportunity which affects marketing’s ability to track attribution accurately.

FAQ

How do relationship maps help B2B sales teams close more deals?

Relationship maps are tools that help sales teams visualize organizational structures, understand relationships between buying group members, and track who holds the political influence to advance deals.

 

B2B sales team leaders lean on this detailed visibility to identify engagement gaps and mitigate risks throughout the sales process.

What is the difference between an org chart, relationship map, and influence map?

Org charts capture an organization’s reporting structure but often fail to provide a complete overview.

 

Relationship maps build on this by not only detailing the reporting structure but also highlighting the relationships among stakeholders.

 

Influence maps further extend these insights by incorporating the reporting structure, stakeholder relationships, and each stakeholder’s ability to influence a deal.
