Understanding the Analytics of PitchDB
The Outreach tool in PitchDB is equipped with several tabs—New, Waiting, Sent, Booked, and Conversed—that facilitate the management and monitoring of your communication with potential opportunities.
Each tab in the Outreach tool provides a wealth of information. Below you will find the interpretation of each tab:
New
Lists contacts to whom you can send out pitches.
Waiting
Shows the contacts to whom you’ve sent pitches and are awaiting a response.
Sent
Displays all the pitches you’ve sent out.
Booked
Reveals the contacts who have accepted your pitches.
Conversed
Shows all the contacts with whom you’ve successfully engaged.
Here’s how you can use the outreach tabs to evaluate and adjust your strategies:
1. Review Response Rates
By comparing the Sent and Conversed tabs, you can calculate your pitch acceptance rate. A higher rate might indicate effective pitching, while a lower rate could suggest a need for improvement.
2. Monitor Waiting Times
The Waiting tab can give insights into response times and help determine the ideal timescale for follow-ups.
3. Evaluate Successes
The Booked tab provides a snapshot of your successful pitches. Studying these can help identify what worked best and replicate these successful elements in future pitches.
4. Evaluate Successes
Identify Areas for Improvement: Negative responses or no responses can provide cues about the areas you need to work on. Maybe your pitch needs refinement, or perhaps you need to target different opportunities.
Conclusion
Although PitchDB does not provide traditional analytics, it offers valuable insights in an alternative form. The Outreach tool, when used effectively, can provide a wealth of information for you to understand the effectiveness of your pitches and identify areas for improvement. This, in essence, equips you with a unique form of “analytics”—one that empowers you to continually refine and improve your outreach efforts. Remember, each pitch, each response, and each interaction offers valuable insights. Learn to decode them, and let them guide your journey to mastering the art of pitching.
