Deal Health is a score from 0-100 indicative of the performance of a deal and a deal's chance of closing based on the closure patterns of previous deals. Vtiger Deal Health is a numeric result based on Engagement, Sentiment, Fit Score, and Deal scores with Calculus AI-based real-time deal analysis.

To access the Deal Health feature in Vtiger CRM, you must first install Calculus AI from the Add-ons Extension store. Once installed, you will get Calculus-enabled results in Deal Health. 

Calculus AI analyzes conversations between customers and sales agents that occur via various channels like emails, phone calls, email campaigns, chats, meetings, etc. Based on data from these sources, Calculus AI can predict the Deal Score, Engagement Score, and Predicted Closed Date. Calculus AI can also analyze the sentiment of the conversation in emails and predict if it is Positive, Neutral, or Negative. This data helps in predicting the Sentiment Score.

Vtiger CRM Deal Health is a scoreboard that is displayed for every deal in the CRM. It is symbolic of the performance and the probability of closing a deal. Its resultant scores are based on the analysis of various Calculus factors.

Let us now understand the different parts of the Deal Health section. 

Deal Health displays the Deal Score, Predicted Close Date, Engagement Score, Sentiment Score, and Conversation Insights. Let us look at these in detail.

Deal Score
Deal Score tells you the probability of achieving the deal and is a measure between 0 and 100. This data is procured by Calculus AI and is based on historical deals and the activities on the particular deal. Deal Score is based on the following:

1. Engagement Score
2. Sentiment score
3. Conversation Timeline in Conversation Insights

The above factors are again based on touchpoints linked to the deal and the deal contact.

Note: You can view all the Touchpoints by clicking Filters on the deal record.

 

Clicking the arrow displays the previous three Deal Scores, as shown above, allowing you to enhance the scores if required comparatively.​​​​​​

Clicking the information symbol highlights the particular deal's positive and negative aspects to understand the deal's pros and cons and accordingly work towards enhancing the scores if required.

Predicted Close Date
The Predicted Close Date is the expected closing date displayed when the project is likely to end. This date is procured by the Calculus AI engine based on the velocity of the particular deal and the historical deals.

Deal Score
Deal Score is the time spent across all deal stages till the current deal stage versus the time spent historically for every deal stage.
