Customer Goals - Road Blocks to Switching from Success Plans

Want to start a thread on the road blocks of standing up customer goals in scalable way. Many of these were discussed in Beta but not updated in the GA release. Would like to know if anyone else is experiencing difficulties while trying to put together a POC for their leadership team

 

  • Limited to using APIs for updates and creations via rules engine. IE this means you need to have an admin that is comfortable enough with APIs to help your team maintain the Customer Goals. Would be better to have a rule action
  • Unable to limit display field editability
  • Cannot associate to a relationship from the C360 (like you can with other functions like Success Plans). Makes CSMs have multiple paths to create the same thing
  • Unable to require fields at “close” (see point below about “closed” identification”. Additionally, you can only require fields at the data management level which means if you add a field after records are created you cannot require that field. So flexibility to alter your layout is limited
  • Unable to distinguish a true “closed” status. OOTB contains “acheived”, but would be better to have status reporting categories (which is aligned with the design of the rest of the system anyways - CTAs, Success Plans)
  • Some fields you cannot remove from the layout IE objective. Objective is visible for AEs to attach during the sales process, however that will only work if you send prospects to GS. This is not a usable association for us and I would like to remove it
  • No timeline or comments
  • Unable to display fields from a lookup (only usable in reports, not in the actual customer goal)

Can we have beta posts opened to the rest of community? @bradley

Would also be great to have a widget in the C360. Right now we can display widgets for Success Plans and CTAs.

Just mentioned this to my CSM yesterday.  Would love to be able to display them in the Summary section as a quick reference instead of them living in a different tab.

According to support, this is INTENTIONAL. Mind blowing that dependent drop downs work everywhere else in data management but not a brand new feature. Seems more like a miss in development to me

I have a Support ticket open about this as well.

Disappointed that it seems the only thing coming in the new release for Customer Goals is dependent drop downs will be added.

Breaking out some items for their own upvotes, especially seemingly low hanging fruit, geared towards adoption:

Just dropping in here to say this collection of ideas and feedback is amazing, AND I have already seen significant changes from the GS product team related to a lot of the ideas shared here, e.g. Rules Engine action type for Customer Goals.
