Anomaly detection in spreadsheets traditionally requires complex conditional formatting and constant vigilance. Most sales teams miss critical warning signs because they’re buried in rows of data that need manual review.
Here’s how to set up automated detection that acts as an always-on data analyst, catching stalled deals and revenue anomalies the moment they happen.
Set up intelligent pattern recognition with automated alerts using Coefficient
Coefficient’s AI Sheets Assistant revolutionizes stalled deal tracking by automatically identifying deals that haven’t progressed, opportunities with unusual discount percentages, and revenue spikes outside normal ranges. Connect to Salesforce or HubSpot for real-time analysis that updates as your CRM changes.
How to make it work
Step 1. Connect your CRM for live data analysis.
Install Coefficient and connect your Salesforce or HubSpot account. Import your complete sales data including opportunities, activities, and account information. Set up automatic refresh so the AI analyzes current data, not outdated exports.
Step 2. Use AI commands to identify anomalies.
Simply ask the AI: “Find all stalled deals in my pipeline” or “Show me unusual revenue patterns this quarter.” The AI considers multiple factors like historical averages by deal type, seasonal patterns, and rep-specific benchmarks to surface real issues.
Step 3. Set up proactive alerts and recommendations.
Schedule the AI to analyze your pipeline each morning. Configure Slack or email alerts when anomalies are detected. The AI provides specific recommendations like “Contact these stalled deal owners today” rather than just flagging problems.
Step 4. Create ongoing monitoring workflows.
Use commands like “Find deals that have been in the same stage for over 30 days” or “Highlight opportunities with unusual discount levels.” Set up daily automated insights that run without manual intervention.
