Session Insights

Overview

Serving as Design Lead on the Session Insights sprint for Minoa, I designed a feature to expose engagement information and activities occurring within a collaborative document. At a glance, this feature included:

Client Background

Minoa is a value intelligence platform that helps B2B sales teams create collaborative business cases: turning complex ROI spreadsheets into clean, shareable documents that sellers co-create with their prospects. These business cases are living documents that prospects can interact with, not static PDFs.

The platform guides sellers through value selling by providing templated use cases, financial calculations, and AI-powered insights.

Expose edit history

Sales teams needed to feel like they had control over the doc once it was shared.

Competitive Research

I reviewed a handful of collaborative platforms that surface viewiership insights, looking at what information is called out and how edit history is communicated. Loom and Google Docs were most influential:

Loom - Views

Impact

At a high level this feature had three major impacts for the business and users:

In-App Sharing Boost

Access to valuable engagement analytics made users want to share in-app. Increased visibility into user sharing behavior helped Minoa make informed product decisions moving forward.

Deal Temperature Visibility

This feature provided valuable information on deal temperature and champion engagement. Users could easily identify deals that might be in trouble, and course correct accordingly.

Learning Feedback Loop

Sales teams were able to identify high-performing content patterns and replicate success across future business cases and deals, increasing deal sizes and win rates.
