When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it on deals past initial qualification, where a single point of contact is a real risk, not on brand-new deals where one contact is normal.
  • Use it as a coaching signal for the rep, not an automatic block, multi-threading is a sales behavior, not something a workflow can do on the rep's behalf.

Skip it

  • Do not use it on inherently single-contact motions, for example a sole proprietor or a very small company where a second contact genuinely does not exist.
  • Do not use it as the only signal for deal risk, pair it with deal-hygiene-022's combined at-risk flag once both are running.
