Zia Presentation

Zia Presentation

"We rely on data to tell us what has happened, and stories to tell us what it means."
- Nancy Duarte in her book, DataStory

The world is gravitating towards data storytelling.
A compelling narrative, built on contextual data analysis, portrays your business performance like nothing else.

However, to come up with such personalized analyses, you would often have to rummage through your dense CRM database, run multiple reports and dashboards, and compile them as informative slide decks. It amounts to a lot of manual work amid your already-busy daily business chores.

- Tom, tomthedesigner.com

But what if we say Zia could cover the data compilation part for you so that you can take the lead for your narrative?

Zia Presentation - Overview

From boardroom meetings to chats over coffee, business analysis and business decisions have always relied upon well-structured and classified presentations . It's a great medium through to tell the world your business story using charts and graphs.

Zia, with its ability to analyze your data sets, generates turnkey analysis on your business performance and renders them sequentially as engaging, meaningful and easy to understand presentation slides. All you have to do is enable the feature and your monthly presentations will be ready for showing, exported directly from your CRM.
Imagine the monthly sales performance meeting, for instance, where your organization collectively discusses projections like the number of leads generated, qualified, and converted, the number of deals won, lost, or stalled, the highest performing products, and the lowest performing territories. Zia Presentations is handy for recurring reviews like this which normally require you to collate cumulative data each time, as it saves you a substantial amount of time and effort.

Notes

Zia produces its monthly analyses on the first day of the subsequent month and releases them as notifications in the Zia Notification panel. Click here to learn how to access these statistics.

Behavioral analytics in Zia Presentation

In addition to the above static insights, Zia automatically generates comprehensive cohort and quadrant behavioral analyses. These findings are dynamic in nature, assessed according to the behavior of your records.

Cohort analysis

A cohort chart is a useful tool to understand a behavior or trend in your CRM organization. It shows how a particular data point is performing over time.
For example, you can analyze how each of your accounts are contributing to your revenue each month. You can spot the surge or dip in the sequence, compare contributions between accounts, identify similarities and anomalies, and devise problem-solving strategies as required.

Quadrant analysis

A quadrant analysis is a study of multiple entities whose behavior is plotted across quadrants in order to facilitate strategic decision-making. The format enables viewers to analyze huge volumes of data at once. To learn more about quadrant analysis, click here .
Below is an example of a quadrant analysis:


Notes
Notes:
  1. The number of insights or KPI displayed is subject to the type of data available in your CRM.
  2. With regards to the behavioral analytics, Zia selects the module based on your usage. In other words, if the activity is mostly around the Deals module, then Zia will display a behavioral study of the Deals module.

Advanced analytics in Zia Presentation

Apart from the insights and behavioural analytics charts, Zia also incorporates advanced analytics into the presentation, such as the Best Time Analytics and VoC Forecast charts. These features provide more in-depth understanding of customer interactions and future patterns, enhancing your presentations with valuable data that reinforces your storyline.

Best time to contact analytics

Zia presents significant charts for Best Time Analytics, such as optimal contact times and customer interaction trends. These charts are generated either from specific user data or from the entire organization's data if Zia is configured to make the decision. When a manager adds team members, the Best Time Analytics will automatically include the data of these team members without any additional setup required.

VoC Forecast charts

Zia decides which graphs to display and organizes them in a logical manner in Story Mode. For example, if Zia recommends graphs from the Deals module and discovers a relevant forecast, it seamlessly incorporates this forecast to maintain a smooth flow in the story. In cases where Zia believes you do not frequently utilize the Deals module and does not suggest any graphs from it, the forecast is instead added at the end.

The charts that you'll see for VoC forecast:
  1. Open deals categorized by the intent in the form of a pie or donut chart.
  2. Table for the deals lost based on the intent.
  3. Tabular representation of the main keywords for analyzing a forecast.
