Mission 5: Build Your Daily Workflow

What you’ll learn

  • How to structure your morning prep in graph8
  • How to work through accounts efficiently during the day
  • How to log activities and keep your pipeline clean
  • How to use end-of-day review to stay on track

Morning Prep (15 minutes)

  1. Check your Inbox

    Go to Engage —> Inbox first thing. Reply to any overnight responses within the first 30 minutes of your day. Hot replies go cold fast.

  2. Review today’s tasks

    Go to Engage —> Tasks (or check your task panel). These are follow-ups, scheduled calls, and reminders that are due today. Sort by Due Date to see what needs attention first.

  3. Check sequence activity

    Go to Engage —> Sequences and review your active sequences. Look at:

    • Replies received since yesterday
    • Bounces that need cleanup
    • Contacts completing sequences without a reply (candidates for a different approach)
  4. Identify priority accounts

    Go to Audiences —> Accounts, sort by Total Score, and pick 3-5 accounts to focus on today. If any are missing intelligence, click Run Intelligence now so it is ready when you need it.


Working Accounts (core of your day)

  1. Open your first priority account

    Click into the account from your Accounts view. Review the intelligence categories for talking points (especially Recent News and Pain Points).

  2. Check the contact map

    Click the Contacts subtab within the account. Review buying roles and engagement scores. Identify who you have not reached yet and who has shown engagement.

  3. Execute outreach

    Based on what the account needs:

    • No prior contact: Add key contacts to your active sequence
    • Sequence completed, no reply: Try a different channel (phone via Engage —> Dialer, or LinkedIn)
    • Replied but not booked: Send a personalized follow-up with your calendar link
    • Meeting booked: Prep for the meeting using Copilot (“Summarize what we know about [company]”)
  4. Log the activity

    After each meaningful interaction (call, email reply, meeting), log it on the contact record. Click into the contact, go to the Activity tab, and add a note. This keeps your CRM synced and your manager informed.

  5. Move to the next account

    Repeat for each of your 3-5 priority accounts. Then move to lower-priority accounts or new contacts from your lists.


Logging Activities

  1. Log calls after every dial

    Whether someone answers or not, log the attempt. Go to the contact record, click Log Activity, and select Call. Add a disposition (Connected, Voicemail, No Answer) and a brief note.

  2. Log email replies

    Replies from sequences are tracked automatically. For manual emails or LinkedIn messages, log them on the contact record so the full picture is in one place.

  3. Update contact statuses

    As you work contacts, update their status:

    StatusWhen to use
    NewJust imported, not yet contacted
    WorkingActively in a sequence or being contacted
    RepliedResponded to outreach
    Meeting BookedDemo or intro scheduled
    DisqualifiedNot a fit, wrong contact, or opted out

End-of-Day Review (10 minutes)

  1. Review what you accomplished

    Go to Engage —> Tasks and mark completed tasks as done. Note any tasks that need to carry over to tomorrow.

  2. Check your numbers

    Review your daily activity counts:

    • Emails sent (via sequences + manual)
    • Calls made
    • Replies received
    • Meetings booked
  3. Queue tomorrow’s work

    Based on what you learned today, identify which accounts need follow-up tomorrow. Create tasks for any specific actions (e.g., “Call back Sarah at Acme - she asked to reconnect Thursday”).
