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)
-
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.
-
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.
-
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)
-
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)
-
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).
-
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.
-
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]”)
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
Update contact statuses
As you work contacts, update their status:
Status When to use New Just imported, not yet contacted Working Actively in a sequence or being contacted Replied Responded to outreach Meeting Booked Demo or intro scheduled Disqualified Not a fit, wrong contact, or opted out
End-of-Day Review (10 minutes)
-
Review what you accomplished
Go to Engage —> Tasks and mark completed tasks as done. Note any tasks that need to carry over to tomorrow.
-
Check your numbers
Review your daily activity counts:
- Emails sent (via sequences + manual)
- Calls made
- Replies received
- Meetings booked
-
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”).
