Understanding Accounts in Matrix

Accounts are your building blocks, and Matrix wants to give you all the tools necessary to manage, track, and forecast the business associated with both new and old accounts.

The Account List

• Use the list features to pull up the assigned accounts you wish to see, or check out the Master List when you’re looking to call on someone new. If you would like to learn more about the account list, please view this aritcle: Monarch - The Account List - Account Executive

The Account Profile Page

• All the details you need to know about your accounts in a one-stop-shop.  You’re never without the pertinent info that will help you sell. If you would like to learn more about the account profile, please view this article: Monarch - Account Profile Page Overview

Requesting Account Reassignments

• You no longer have to worry about cold calling an existing account!  Check the Master List to see if the account you’d like to call on has previous history, and request an account reassignment from your manager. You can hit the ground running since the account’s historical details travel with its assignment. To request an account, please view this aritcle: Monarch - Prospecting Page - Multi-Stage - AE

Notice any Duplicates?

• Account names need to match Exactly in Matrix, or the system will creates them separately.

            - Let your Manager know if a duplicate account needs merged, or submit the request to us at vsa@matrixformedia.com, and we’ll take care of that for you.

Working with New Accounts

Matrix is actively pushing billed accounts from your traffic system, but it’s equally as important to add new accounts that are being worked on.

Entering New Accounts

• Prospects - If new accounts are entered as Prospects, AEs can start forecasting business that they are working on with that accounts without manager approval.
• Leads – If your organization is utilizing Leads to manage new account additions an AE must first have an Address, a Contact, and a scheduled Activity on file in Matrix before they are able to request manager approval to turn the Lead into a Prospect. 

Notes:
