How do you announce a won deal in Slack with AI?

You announce a won deal in Slack with a short note in the team's wins channel saying who signed, what they bought and who helped. In Pebbles Ai you ask an assistant to draft it and post it, so the note starts with a request rather than a stage change. Manual asks before posting, Plan queues the post and Auto posts it.

The short answer

Key takeaways

  • A good win note names the customer, what they bought, why they chose you and who worked the deal.
  • In Pebbles Ai the announcement starts with a request: someone asks, reads the draft and the post follows the execution mode.
  • The Pebbles bot must be a member of the wins channel before the assistant can post there.
  • Leave out any figure your company would not share with everyone in that channel.

What should a won deal Slack message say

A won deal Slack message should say who signed, what they bought and who helped, in three or four lines a colleague takes in at a glance. Its job is to share the win and to give the people who touch the account next something they can act on.

Keep commercial detail to what your company is comfortable sharing in that channel. Some teams post the value; others post only the plan and the customer's reason for choosing them, which tends to be more useful to marketing and product anyway.

  • The customer, and the person who signed.
  • What they bought, in the words your team uses internally.
  • Why they chose you, in one sentence.
  • Who worked the deal, including people outside sales.
  • What happens next, and who owns it.

How do you post closed deals to Slack without a trigger rule

You post closed deals to Slack without a trigger rule by making the announcement part of closing the deal: whoever marks it won asks the assistant for the note there and then.

Many CRMs offer a rule that posts automatically when a deal changes stage. In Pebbles Ai the post starts with a request in chat instead. The trade is a small habit in return for a person reading every announcement first, which catches a misspelt customer name or a figure that should have stayed private.

Which channel should a deal won announcement go to

A deal won announcement belongs in one channel the whole company can see, with detailed account talk kept somewhere smaller. A single wins channel becomes a record people scroll back through when they need an example customer.

Implementation dates, contract terms and who is sceptical on the customer side belong in the account team's channel or the deal record instead. In Pebbles Ai an admin adds the Pebbles bot to the channels you choose, and the assistants read and post only where the bot is a member, so add it to the wins channel before the first announcement.

What changes with each execution mode

The execution mode decides whether the Slack post waits for you. In Manual, the assistant shows a Run these actions? card and posts only after you approve; in Plan, the post sits in the queue with the rest of the plan; in Auto, it goes out without asking.

The web app starts in Manual, which suits announcements. A wrong name in a company-wide channel is hard to take back quietly, and approving one card takes a moment.

Step by step

How to announce a won deal in Slack, step by step

Do it straight after the deal closes, while the reasons are fresh.

  1. Mark the deal as won in your CRM and note the reason the customer gave for choosing you.
  2. In Assistant chat, ask the Marketing or Strategy assistant for a short win announcement, giving it the customer, what they bought, who worked the deal and why they chose you.
  3. Read the draft and ask for changes, such as dropping the deal value or crediting the solutions engineer.
  4. Ask the assistant to post it to the wins channel, which the Pebbles bot must already be a member of.
  5. Approve the post on the card if you work in Manual mode, then check how it reads in Slack.

Common questions

Can a Slack sales win update post itself when a deal closes?

Not in Pebbles Ai. The update starts when someone asks an assistant for it, and the post then follows the execution mode.

Can the person who closed the deal post the note from Slack itself?

Not through the bot. The request goes to an assistant in Assistant chat; the bot is what lets that assistant post in the wins channel once an admin has added it there.

Should a win announcement include the deal value?

Only if your company is happy for everyone in that channel to see it. Many teams leave the figure out and share the customer's reason for buying instead.
