Learn how to improve Closers performances by utilizing iClosed Rules Automations

Updated over a month ago

Rules automation is one of the iClosed premium features that help you streamline Events and improve performance of your Closers.

By adding rules to your events, you can automatically remove Closers if they reach "maximum call limits" or if they are not meeting the "stop loss" criteria of the event.

Automations are available with Business and Enterprise subscription plans only.

This feature is accessible to Super Admins and Sales Managers roles by default.


Rules overview

There are two types of Rules you can apply:

  1. Maximum number of calls

    1. To limit maximum number of calls for Closers to ensure they are not overburnt

    2. Perfect for onboarding new talents.​

  2. Stop loss

    1. To set your own stop loss for Closers who are under-achieving according to your criteria.

    2. Such Closers will be automatically removed from the Event as soon as the condition has been met.​

Navigate to AI Scheduler → Automations, click on the "Create Rule" button and select one of the two options available.


Maximum number of calls rule

Here's how Maximum number of calls work:

  1. Click on the "Maximum number of calls" rule

  2. Set "Rule Name" first

  3. Select which events this rule applies to

    1. An event can have only one rule of the same type

    2. If you don’t see the Event in the events dropdown, you might have already applied a rule of the same type to that Event.

  4. Set the number of calls a closer can get for selected event

  5. The list of Closers assigned to the Event will appear bellow

    1. In case you wouldn't like to apply this Rule to specific Closers, simply click on the dropdown menu in the Status column and set "Mark inactive".

    2. This helps you precisely filter out individuals to whom the Rule should and shouldn't be applied

  6. Hit "Create Rule" button, and it's set. Simple as that!

Example

Maximum number of calls set for a specific Closer is 5.


Even though Closers availability is set to allow Closer to get more than 5 calls per day, the Automation Rule will block scheduling as soon as the criteria is met, no matter the Event Priority setup.

Stop Loss rule

As explained above, "Stop Loss" rule is for Closers who are under-achieving according to your criteria.
This rule helps you to start with damage control as soon as condition is met, which can save your business from wasting leads, meaning potential inccome.

Closers who meet the Rule criteria will be automatically removed from the Event.

Here's step-by-step guide on how to set it up:

Pro tips
