The Opportunity Journey Report

Prerequisites 

This feature is available to customers whose subscription includes the Opportunity Journey report. 

What is the Opportunity Journey report?

Opportunity Journey enables users to more deeply understand how marketing touch points across all account contacts are impacting the buying cycle. Marketers can use Opportunity Journey reports to analyze how many and what type of touches across an account's buying committee contribute to each deal in order to report influence back to the business and replicate what’s working against future pipeline.  

Feature Overview

Journey Graph

In the Opportunity Journey graph, Terminus maps every campaign touchpoint to each opportunity's timeline. The touches can be highlighted or excluded from the visual based on contact relationship, title, and campaign type, to understand each engagement from first touch to deal close. 

The Journey view is a visual representation of all valid campaign responses against a particular opportunity over time. This view can be likened to an account-based "Buyers' Journey."

Just about the journey graph you'll find additional opportunity details, including:

• Account Name
• Current Opportunity Stage
• Opportunity Amount
• Opportunity Created Date
• Opportunity Close Date
• Opportunity Type

For the opportunity itself, you'll also see several summary metrics, including:

• Total campaign responses on the opportunity
• Total stage changes that have occurred to-date (or from Created Date to Closed Date)
• Total people (leads or contacts) associated with the account that have interacted with a marketing campaign during the timeframe of the opportunity (influence is based on campaign responses)
• Total unique campaigns that have influenced the marketing campaign (influence is based on campaign responses)

Hovering over any point on the Journey graph will reveal details associated with each campaign response, including:

• Date the touchpoint occurred
• Which leads or contacts within the account engaged with each campaign
• The titles of all engaged leads and contacts
• Which specific campaigns and campaign types influenced the opportunity

On the right-hand side of the Journey view, users can hide or highlight Campaign Types, People Types and Title groups, on the Journey graph. 

Titles of leads and contacts are based on your CRM data. Then, they are assigned title groups based on the logic in the table below:

Changes in opportunity stage will be represented visually, via pink vertical bars on the graph:

 

Reporting Table

Just below the journey graph is the reporting table, where users can see all opportunity influence data organized in tables.

• The Campaign Responses tab identifies each individual Lead or Contact, the campaign they engaged with and the date in which it occurred. 

• The People tab identifies all individuals engaging with marketing during this buying cycle, and how many unique campaigns they engaged with. If the "Person" column is hyperlinked, clicking on their name will open the lead or contact record in your connected CRM.

• The Campaigns tab surfaces all of the campaigns that influenced this buying cycle and how many unique people each campaign influenced.

Digital Attribution Enhancements in Opportunity Journey

Terminus Digital Attribution customers will also have access to enhanced features in the Opportunity Journey report. These include:

• Ungated Web Touch added as an available plot point on the Journey graph
• UTM Source and UTM Campaign added as columns in the data table on the “Campaign Responses” tab

What Questions Can Opportunity Journey Answer?

Opportunity Journey is a powerful reporting feature solving two major use cases that many teams struggle with:

Understanding Trends in Effective Campaigns and Replicating them:

With Opportunity Journey, you can visualize an account’s journey from the first touch before an opportunity is created all the way until the opportunity is marked as closed. This granularity allows you to uncover details such as: how many people engaged; who were they; what did they engage with; and at what point did they engage? From there, you can determine winning (or losing) patterns across key opportunities or segments and inform future marketing programming.

Understanding Marketing's Influence:

The Terminus platform surfaces the entire story of marketing influence. We look across the entire account to show every campaign touch against each individual associated with an account, without relying on perfect data hygiene or manual processes to identify who is involved in decision making. This key differentiator allows you to see a full snapshot of your impact against key opportunities and deals.

The types of questions marketers answer with Opportunity Journey reports are:

• Which people in the buying center got involved in this deal, when?
• Which campaigns are involved earlier or later in won deals?
• Which campaigns are always present in closed won deals?
• Is there a persona or type of campaign that is missing in lost deals?
• Are there early indicators of red flags on lost deals that we can use to take earlier action on the next opportunity?
• When and how do senior decision makers get involved?
