Zia Learns from Your Data

Zia’s predictions improve over time as it analyses more historical data from your CRM. Lead score predictions become more accurate as more leads convert or are disqualified. Deal predictions improve as more deals are won and lost. Zia requires a minimum number of records to generate predictions – typically 300 or more closed deals for meaningful deal predictions.

Industry Example

B2B Technology: A B2B technology company with 3 years of Zoho CRM data uses Zia predictions in their weekly sales meeting. The sales manager reviews Zia’s deal predictions to identify high-risk deals that are predicted to be lost despite being categorised as “Commit” by the rep. The manager intervenes with additional support on these deals, improving forecast accuracy and reducing unexpected losses at quarter end.
