Scope:

Sales Enablement CRM Platform

Compnay:

Google

Timeline:

2 months

Intro:The Google Sales Enablement CRM Platform is an internal product that supports Google’s ad sellers teams responsible for driving the majority of Google’s revenue. The platform is highly complex and continuously evolving, with new workflows, data models, and AI-powered tools being introduced alongside long-standing legacy systems.

Problem :

The platform relied heavily on “Insights” to deliver value to sellers—yet the term had no shared definition.

Over time:

  • “Insight” became an umbrella label for any type of information

  • 20+ teams shipped insights independently, without coordination

  • Sellers received 50–100 insights per day, regardless of relevance

  • Critical signals were buried in noise

  • CSAT data showed sellers perceived insight quality as low

One undefined term was undermining usability, prioritization, and adoption across the platform.

Goal :

Fix the problem by turning “Insights” into a clear, scalable system:

  • Establish a single definition

  • Categorize insights by purpose and importance

  • Align teams on when and how insights should appear

  • Reduce cognitive load while increasing actionability

Approach :

My focus was on leverage instead of rewriting.

We needed:

  • Platform-wide audit: mapped how insights were created, categorized, and delivered across UI, notifications, email, and AI surfaces.

  • Cross-functional alignment: led workshops to align teams on intent, success metrics, and seller needs.

  • Research: studied how sellers interpreted, prioritized, and acted on insights throughout their workday.

The core driver for this rework: Sellers didn’t need more information, they needed context and prioritization.

Solution :

I introduced a simple, durable categorization model grounded in how value is created.

Primary (revenue-linked):
  • How Google makes money

  • How advertisers make money


Secondary (supporting action):
  • Observational: actionable customer or account data

  • Event-based: contextual information that informed decisions


This system:
  • defined what qualified as an “insight”

  • reduced noise without removing information

  • allowed sellers—not the system—to determine relevance

  • gave teams a shared framework for future work

Outcome :

  • Sellers could quickly understand why an insight existed and how to act

  • Content became clearer and more accessible to new and experienced sellers

  • Cognitive overload decreased while speed to action improved

  • Teams shipped insights that fit into a coherent ecosystem

This work shifted the platform from shipping information to delivering meaning at scale.
