What it does

Deals often die because the wrong person was in the seat. When a new VP, CRO, or CIO joins a company you lost, the buying criteria reset. This workflow detects executive and champion changes in the news and nudges the original rep in Slack with context they can act on the same day.

When to use it

Use it for accounts lost to incumbent loyalty or single-stakeholder objections, where a personnel change genuinely reopens the door. Best for teams that live in Slack and want a fast, low-friction signal rather than a full email draft.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule triggers the daily scan.
  2. 2Pull Salesforce closed-lost opportunities and their account names.
  3. 3Search Exa news for leadership-change language (appointed, joins as, new head of) tied to each account.
  4. 4OpenAI classifies whether the change is decision-maker relevant and summarizes the angle in two sentences.
  5. 5A logic step drops low-relevance or duplicate hits already alerted this week.
  6. 6Post a Slack message to the rep with the exec name, source link, and suggested next move.
