Role Weighting + SLA Rules

The engineering of Signal Power—assigning higher priority and faster response times to decision-maker activity so Sales sprints when authority engages.

The "Volume Over Value" Signal

Most scoring systems count total clicks. If 10 interns download a whitepaper, the account "surges" and triggers an SDR task. If one CTO views your pricing page, it’s buried in the noise. Without Role Weighting, your Sales team spends 80% of their time chasing the people who have 0% of the budget. We fix this by making the Buyer Role the multiplier for the signal.

Operational Leakage
  • SLA Dilution: Decision-maker signals cooling off because they are stuck in a generic 24-hour lead queue.
  • Misallocated Effort: SDRs spending bespoke research hours on non-decision personas.
  • Noise Saturation: High-volume practitioner traffic masking low-volume executive intent.

The Priority Engine

x5.0Executive / EB

SLA: 2-Hour Response. High-intensity multi-threading.

x2.0Technical Evaluator

SLA: 4-Hour Response. Technical proof sequence.

x1.0Practitioner / User

SLA: 24-Hour Response. Standard nurture track.

Environment Implementation

6sense / Demandbase ON

We implement Weighted Persona Scores within the platform. We configure "Urgent Alerts" that trigger Slack or CRM notifications specifically when an Executive-tier persona enters a high-intent segment, bypassing standard volume-based triggers.

Trigger: [Persona == Executive] AND [Stage == Decision] → Instant_SLA
Platform Off (CRM/MAP First)

We build SLA Escalation Flows in your CRM. When a contact with a Decision-Maker role shows first-party intent (Pricing/Demo views), the Flow automatically elevates the Account Priority and reassigns the task to an Executive SDR.

Flow: IF Role_Weight >= 5 THEN Priority = 'Urgent'

Artifacts You Receive

  • Role Weighting Matrix: The multiplier table for every committee role.
  • SLA Contract Document: Agreed-upon response times between Marketing and Sales.
  • Escalation Workflow Spec: Technical logic for "Red Phone" routing.

Implementation Steps

WK 1 Align Sales/Marketing on which roles constitute "High Signal."
WK 2 Define the SLA response tiers and ownership rules.
WK 3 Deploy weighted triggers and Slack/CRM alerting.
