The activation plan
Day 1 to Day 90.
Month by month.
The portal is running. Now here's how I'd operationalize it inside Cresta — what gets built, what gets connected to the sales team, and what the metrics look like at the end of 90 days. Three phases, one goal: pipeline that didn't exist before.
Success metrics — 90-day targets

Discovery calls booked from pipeline signals
By Day 90
Month by month — what gets done
Week 1
Audit the current GTM stack
Shadow every SDR, AE, and marketer. Map what's manual. Understand Salesforce field hygiene, Gong usage, current account scoring methodology.
Week 2
Connect signal sources to Cresta's CRM
Wire TheirStack, Grok, and SEC EDGAR into Salesforce custom fields. Set up Temporal workflow for nightly enrichment. Replace any manual research steps.
Week 3
Launch Mystery Shopper on the top 50
Run the full account list through the Vapi phone scanner. Output: platform confirmation, quality scores, IVR depth for each account. Feed results back to heat scores.
Week 4
Present territory map to sales leadership
Show the heat-ranked account list, signal provenance, and contact mapping. Get alignment on top 20 priority accounts for Month 2 sequencing.
Week 5–6
Build Outreach/Salesloft sequence templates
Port the 10 sequences from this portal into the sales engagement platform. Build dynamic field insertion: Mystery Shopper data auto-fills Touch 1. Ping Wu voice enforced via template lock.
Week 7
Launch first 10 sequences on priority accounts
Comcast, Anthem, Ally, T-Mobile, Delta as the top 5. Auto-launch when compound signal threshold hit. Every sequence opens with the IVR finding.
Week 8
Build the AE daily brief system
Every AE gets a Slack DM at 8am: top 3 accounts to focus on today, ranked by signal freshness. Replaces manual Salesforce dashboard checking.
Week 9–10
Expand to 200 accounts
Run the pipeline against Cresta's full TAM. Prioritize by industry wave: Telecom Month 1, FSI Month 2, Airlines + Healthcare Month 3. Each wave gets a new round of Mystery Shopper calls.
Week 11
Tune compound signal scoring with conversion data
Analyze which signal combinations actually drove replies and meetings. Retrain the heat score weights. Build a feedback loop from Gong call outcomes back into the scoring model.
Week 12
90-day retrospective + next quarter plan
Present to Ping Wu and the GTM team: meetings booked, signals that fired, pipeline generated, what's next. Ship v2 of the enrichment pipeline with learnings baked in.
The underlying principle
Every manual step is a bug. If an AE is manually researching an account in Salesforce, that's a bug. If a sequence starts with "I noticed you're in the contact center space," that's a bug. If a rep doesn't know what IVR platform an account runs before they dial, that's a bug. The 90-day plan is a bug-fixing exercise — systematically replacing human research with automated signal, and replacing generic outreach with personalized intelligence.
