Salesforce training reports using Tasks or Events can’t effectively distinguish between new vs. returning accounts on a weekly basis because native reports lack cross-time-period analysis capabilities.
You’ll discover how to build comprehensive new vs. returning account analysis for training programs with automated weekly tracking and sophisticated reactivation logic that training managers need.

How to make it work

Build weekly counts:for new accounts andfor returning accounts. This provides clear weekly breakdowns of training participation.
Step 4. Add advanced returning account logic.
For accounts with training gaps, use this sophisticated formula:. This identifies accounts that have been reactivated after long periods of inactivity.
Step 5. Build comprehensive weekly training dashboard.
Create analysis showing new accounts trained this week vs. previous weeks, returning account engagement frequency analysis, and training effectiveness metrics by new vs. returning status. Include account lifecycle progression through training programs to understand training impact.
Step 6. Set up automated training insights.
Export new/returning flags back to Salesforce account records for broader team use. Schedule weekly training engagement reports and set up alerts for declining returning account participation. Create training ROI analysis by account status to optimize program effectiveness.
