Introduction

In this playbook, you’ll learn how to monitor and act on late-stage deals by tracking real-time developer engagement within accounts marked as opportunities in your CRM. This play enables AEs and sales managers to ensure ongoing product evaluation and prevent deals from going cold.

By analyzing developer activity signals—such as product logins, documentation reviews, code interactions, or key engagement spikes—you can identify potential blockers early and take proactive steps to keep deals moving. Additionally, sales managers can create account owner-specific segments and share them directly with their AEs, enabling focused pipeline management.
