Show Notes

In episode #33, I address close dates for our bookings data. There are two primary camps when it comes to the date of record for a Closed Won opportunity.

- What is a close date?

- Option 1 – date of execution

- Option 2 – subscription start date

- Mismatch between bookings date and S&M metrics

- Make sure it’s defined internally
