PFRI Buying Signal Definitions

With the introduction of PathFactory for Revenue Intelligence comes new data! This means new labels and meanings that you may not yet be familiar with. To ensure that you have a full understanding of the insights captured across your PFRI dashboards, read through our list of definitions below. 

% Change/Period

Rate of change in engagement times between the current period selected and previous period.

# of Buyers Sent 

Total number of account contacts that were sent a PathFactory Content Play email.

# of Content 

Total number of unique content views during the date range criteria you have specified.

# of Days Engaged

Total number of days that buyers engaged during the date range criteria you have  specified.

# of Engaged Buyers

Total number of buyers that have engaged during the date range criteria you have specified.

# of Response

Total number of content views during the date range criteria you have specified. This is not unique and will include multiple views to a single content asset.

Buyer Name

Buyer Name displays a person’s first and last name from their CRM contact record. If the buyer is not a contact in your CRM database, PathFactory will instead display the buyer’s email or visitor identity in a separate column.

Buyer Status

This status can be one of multiple values:

  • Contacts in CRM – previously labeled Present in the CRM.
    • This status type only includes buyers that are contact records in Salesforce.
  • Not a Contact in CRM – previously labeled Not Present in CRM.
    • This status type includes buyers that are known to PathFactory. They may be lead records in Salesforce or they may not yet be in Salesforce but are still in the PathFactory database.
  • Unknown
    • This status type includes buyers that are in the PathFactory database but are not yet known (no email address associated) so they are identified by a visitor ID. PathFactory is able to associate them to an Account based on company name information that 6sense provides, but they are not yet present in Salesforce either. 

Content Plays

Allows users with a Revenue Team role type to do the following within PathFactory or Salesforce:

  • Identify contacts they want to send a PathFactory Experience to 
  • Select and customize elements of an Experience (based on what Marketing has approved) 
  • Draft an email containing links to the Experience and send
  • Generate a content sharing link with predefined tracking criteria if choosing to email it from another platform.
