Account Spike Data available in Salesforce
When you integrate your RollWorks account with Salesforce, the following Sales Insights Account Spike data will be available in Salesforce in custom objects and custom fields in addition to other RollWorks advertising metrics documented in this Help Center article.
 Custom fields |
Definition |
|---|---|
| Spike Level | ✍️ 'Spike Level' is the primary data point that should be utilized by your Sales team to prioritize accounts spiking in engagement. We use machine learning to establish Account Spike thresholds as Low, Medium, or High. These Spike Levels are dynamic and responsive to the volume of organic site traffic for your site to ensure that when accounts are flagged as 🔥🔥🔥 High, 🔥🔥Medium, or🔥Low for spike activity, it is compared to your own organic website engagement. |
| Last Spike Timestamp | ✍️ You should always use 'Last Spike Timestamp' in combination with Spike Level to prioritize Accounts with recent spikes. Shows the last time an account spiked in engagement. Shows the last time an account spiked in engagement. |
| Spike Had Matched Contacts | This is a true/false boolean field that indicates if we were able to match the engagement Spike for this Account to any of your existing CRM contacts at the moment the Spike happened. Learn more about how matched contacts work here. |
| Spike Raw Score | The output of the data science model looks at various inputs of account engagement. This score is a number between 0-100 that is used to calculate Spike Level and is only visible to CRMAdmins.As a Sales Insights user, you will most likely not use this data, instead, you will use 'Spike Level'. |
| Spike Score Reason | This field refers to the engagement actions that occurred leading to the account spiking. For example # of ad clicks, # of unique visitors, # of conversion page views. |
| Last Modified date | Shows the last time Spike engagement data was pushed to your CRM. |

RollWorks Sales Insights Account Page Component
The Sales Insights Account Component allows your sales team to see a trailing 7-day window of Account spike activity, a user-level view of the engaged contacts and what actions they took, as well as key additional RollWorks ABM program insights.
Within your Salesforce Account records, the RollWorks Sales Insights account page component displays account spike data with known and unknown contact-level insights such as page views and ad clicks. This information allows your sales team to better understand the account engagement parent so you can personalize outreach based on their interactions. It also helps your sales rep to uncover gaps in the contact database where sales reps can then search for new contacts to reach out to.
To find the Sales Insights account page component follow these steps:
- Log in to Salesforce.
- Go to the tab Accounts and open an account record. We recommend that you use the Account Spike Salesforce Report to find specific accounts that have an Account Spike within the last 7 days.
- Click the tab RollWorks Sales Insights.
| Icon | Account Spike Level |
|---|---|
| No Spike on this day | |
| Low Spike level | |
| Medium Spike Level | |
| High Spike Level |
From this RollWorks Sales Insights view, you will see a 7-day look-back of any Account Spike activity that has been recorded for this Account record including a brief summary of Spike Activity for days with recorded Account Spikes.
Time is of the essence:
We only display the last 7 days of account spike data since these actionable insights must be acted on quickly by your sales team.
You can drill down further to view the specific activity details as follows:

View the Account's Visitor Activity
After you have determined that a specific account is spiking with engagement the next questions you need to answer are:
- Who was engaging that led to the Account Spike event?
- What pages were they viewing? What content were they consuming?
The answers to those questions are critical to arming your sales reps with the information they need to prioritize outreach for that spiking account, and those questions are answered through the Visitor Activity tab under RollWorks Sales Insights which will give you contact-level engagement details advertising activity for the selected day.

|
|
Conversion Page Views |

Ad Clicks |

Sales Insights deanonymizes contacts that engage with your website or RollWorks ads for your existing HubSpot Company records when all the three following conditions are met:
- The Company was spiking in the last 7 days based on our Account Spike Model.
- A Salesforce Contact or Lead record already existed in your CRM under the correct Company record prior to the Account Spike date.
- The email address captured by the Pixel is an exact 1-to-1 match with the email address in your existing HubSpot Contact or Lead record.
Improve your CRM Contact matching rates
Contact match rates depend on the number of up-to-date contact records in your CRM, specifically correct email addresses. In order to deanonymize the unique site visitor on your website, the contact must exist in your CRM with the correct email address. If we are unable to match a contact record, we aggregate engagement actions under an Anonymous Visitor for you to visualize this information in your CRM.
View the Account's Surging Intent Topics
In the RollWorks Sales Insights account page component, you can see which intent topics the Account is surging on so you can better understand what type of information they are interested in. As a sales rep, this will allow you to tailor their communication with this prospect.
The intent topics shown here are the topics that surged through the 7-day period, and not on a specific date.
Choose your Intent Topics in RollWorks
Please note that only the Intent Topics you are following in your RollWorks account can be displayed here. Learn how to configure your Intent Topics in RollWorks in this article.
View the Account's Journey Stage
The RollWorks Sales Insights component also informs you about what is the Journey Stage this account is based on the RollWorks Journey Stages you have configured in the RollWorks platform. Journey Stages is a RollWorks feature to track the progression and regression of accounts along their buying journey that helps you plan and measure the impact of marketing and sales program investments. Learn more about Journey Stages and how to customize them to your needs here.
View the Account's Journey Events
The RollWorks Sales Insights account component allows your sales reps to view RollWorks Journey Events for specific accounts directly in Salesforce, without the need to login to RollWorks.
Journey Events pulls timestamped events from Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketing automation platforms like Marketo, Eloqua, and Pardot, and partnership integrations like G2, combining all these events with intent, engagement, and journey stage provided by the RollWorks platform. Journey Events include two main features:
-

-
Journey Stage Visualization. View an account’s stage progression or regression next to account engagement and activity to understand what activities are more efficient at driving accounts through the buying journey.
