Dashboard: Cohort Analysis
Type: Cohort Analysis

Behavioral analytics uses cohort analysis to group data from a given subset, such as a SaaS company, game, or e-commerce platform, into related groups rather than analyzing it individually. Cohorts refer to these groupings. In terms of size and time, they are similar.

The CaliberMind Cohort Analysis feature is used by companies to analyze customer behavior throughout the customer's life cycle. A business may have difficulty understanding the life cycle of each customer without cohort analysis. In order to tailor products and services to the identified cohorts, use cohort analysis to understand trends and patterns in their customers over time.

Role: Sales Executives, Marketing Executives, Marketing Directors

Dashboard: Trend Analysis
Type: Pipeline

Staying on top of what's happening in the pipeline at every stage of the journey is the concern of Sales and Marketing executives and directors. To ensure up-to-date information refer to the Trend Analysis dashboard. Tracking your sales pipeline trend is essential because, all other things being equal, flat funnel growth prevents you from increasing sales. It's even worse if it's heading downhill. In other words, managers need to understand how their sales pipeline is trending over time.

Role: Operations

Dashboard: Trend Analysis
Type: Conversion Rates & Alignment Across Departments

Conversion Rates: Whether a funnel is brand new or has been part of the business for a while, if conversion rates have everyone scratching their heads, it’s time to dig into the current funnel stages and identify where the wheels may be falling off. There may be a lack of agreement between teams on lead or stage definitions, or perhaps automated flags aren’t triggering correctly.

Alignment: When B2B business benchmarks for funnel conversion rates aren’t reaching or exceeding industry averages, it might be a people problem, but it’s more likely to be an issue of poor alignment either on process or definition across sales and marketing that can be seen in the funnel.

The Conversion Rates report on the Trends Analysis Dashboard provides an 'at glance' view of conversion rates by funnel stage.
