Sales team onboarding a new hire
The new account executive inherits a territory with 200 accounts across manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics. Instead of starting cold, they open each contact in People and see every past email exchanged over three years, notes from discovery calls, pricing negotiations documented in the timeline, and file attachments with signed contracts and technical specifications stored in OneCloud. The previous rep left six weeks ago, but the institutional knowledge remains intact. Each contact profile shows purchasing patterns, decision-maker relationships, renewal dates, and competitive intel gathered across dozens of interactions.
Result
Ramp time drops from 90 days to 45 days because institutional knowledge lives in contact profiles, not departing colleagues. The new rep closes their first deal in week three instead of month three, and territory revenue stays flat during the transition instead of dropping 30% like previous handoffs.
