What are Person Status Exits?

CaliberMind What is a person status exit?

You may want funnel journeys to end based on who the active participants are. Occasionally, a journey may need to be terminated if there is no one qualified to continue at the company at the beginning of the funnel journey stages. While a person’s status can be used to terminate a journey, a change in status can also be used to start a new journey.

The Person Status Exit - Purpose

For instance, you might be speaking with someone whose Salesforce status indicates they are Marketing Qualified. There may be additional individuals in that account who have Marketing Qualified statuses or statuses further down the sales cycle. It may be worthwhile for you to continue this journey. Alternatively, if there is no one in the organization qualified to advance a journey, you may want to terminate the journey. Journey terminations can be configured in this section.

The Funnel Person Status Exit - Assumptions and Considerations for Usage

Your organizations CRM will need to have the following features turned on for the Person Status Exit to function:

  • The lead is in one of the top three funnel stages
  • Salesforce CRM needs to be in operation
  • Lead History needs to be turned on
  • Contact History needs to be turned on
  • A Field that tracks status will need to be turned on

You do not need to fill out this section if:

  • This section does not need to be filled out if the stage you are configuring is not a People stage (such as an opportunity-based stage).
  • Alternatively, if you want to terminate a journey without using Person Status changes, you can use timeout logic or Early Exit logic instead.

The lead statuses you select in this section determine whether a journey remains active. A lead's status being updated to the Disqualified status will trigger the Journey Termination evaluation if any non-selected statuses are entered.

In this section, you can select the status of any contact that is considered valid so that a journey can remain active. An evaluation for Journey Termination will be initiated if a contact's status is changed to Disqualified after the entry of a status or statuses.

This determines how logic is applied. The toggle is set to "Any" by default, meaning that if any contact or lead in that business is disqualified, the journey will be terminated. To end the journey, you must have disqualified statuses on all contacts or leads within that business.

Analysis: In the example have the sales executive (SA) has determined that the prospect is not ready to move to the next stage within the sales process. The SA would like to keep the prospect within the pool as qualified for a future event. Using the Person Status Exit process will allow the person to proceed through the qualification process again thus providing time for the sales team to determine if the lead is a 'go or no go.'

Action: Knowing that this logic of recycling a "person" within the CRM is typically used in stages two and three using the Person Status Exit process is the proper methodology to retain and recycle a lead found in this situation.
