  • Deep engagement with pricing or service sections
  • Return visits over several days

Section Performance Insights: Section analytics help you understand content effectiveness:

  • Long time in pricing sections: Strong purchase consideration
  • Repeated cover section views: Possible document sharing with colleagues
  • Brief section visits: Content might need improvement or reorganization

Using Analytics for Follow-Up

Timing Your Outreach: Analytics help you identify the perfect moment for follow-up:

  • Recent activity: Reach out while the document is fresh in their mind
  • Extended viewing sessions: Capitalize on demonstrated interest
  • Section focus: Tailor conversations based on which sections received attention

Conversation Starters: Use analytics insights to guide your discussions:

  • "I noticed you spent time reviewing our pricing section..."
  • "Since you've been back to look at the team bios..."
  • "I see you've had a chance to review the document a few times..."

Analytics transform your documents from static presentations into dynamic engagement tools that provide real-time feedback about client interest and behavior. This data helps you become more responsive, more strategic, and ultimately more successful in your client relationships.
