Predictika · Annual Sales and Marketing platform quotes

An AI sales agent's platform quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an annual platform quote with a Sales plan and its seats, a Marketing plan, intent topics, Display Network use, extra credits, add-ons, the term and the annual total the quote states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the plan, seat, feature and credit rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the annual total it computed.

Scope: Annual Sales and Marketing platform quotes: the Professional, Copilot Advanced and Copilot Enterprise Sales plans, the Demand, ABM Lite and ABM Enterprise Marketing plans, seats, intent topics, Display Network, credits, add-ons, the term and the annual total the quote states. See everything this validator covers

This validator models annual platform quotes, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Plans and features — which Sales plan carries buyer intent, website visitors, custom intent and sales activity automation, the seat minimums per plan, and which Marketing plan carries the Display Network and how many intent topics.
  • Limits and add-ons — the Display Network campaign and account limits, extra credits, Streaming Intent blocks, the Enrich API, Chorus seats against Sales seats, Chat, and terms of one to three years.
  • Price and referrals — the annual total stated against the annual total computed, and a person's review for a large seat count, a three-year term, a large credit purchase, an integration without bulk credits and a requested discount.

Any platform quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: Talent and Operations products, taxes and multi-year price schedules. The plan names, the plan features and some limits follow ZoomInfo's public pricing page; ZoomInfo does not publish prices, so every price, the seat minimums, the credits included per seat and the approval thresholds are modeled from comparable products, and every amount here is illustrative.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong

Click to expand

Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
Features that belong to some plans onlyOnly with workarounds
Buyer intent and website visitors come with the Copilot plans, custom intent and sales automation with Enterprise only, and the Display Network with the ABM plans, so every rule must read the plan together with the features chosen.
The plans and the features are fields of one request and are checked together on every call.
Limits that depend on the planOnly with care
The intent topic limit and the Display Network campaign and account limits differ between Demand, ABM Lite and ABM Enterprise, and the seat minimum differs between the Copilot plans.
Each limit is compared with the plan on every call, and all the findings are returned together.
Add-ons that depend on other fieldsOnly with care
Chorus seats cannot exceed Sales seats, and the Enrich API is reviewed unless enough extra credits come with it, so a rule must read several fields chosen independently.
Each dependency is a separate finding, and all of them are returned together.
A stated annual total that must match the build-upOnly with workarounds
The annual total chains the seats, the plan prices, the extra credits and the add-ons, so a separate rule must recompute it and compare it with the stated figure.
The stated total is a field of the request and is compared with the computed total on every call.
Referrals for large or unusual dealsOnly with workarounds
A review depends on the seat count, the term, the credit purchase, the integration and the discount together, on top of the blocking rules.
The referrals are separate findings returned together with the blocking ones.

What this validator catches: findings from its test cases

Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

Narration transcript

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares an annual platform quote with a Sales plan and its seats, a Marketing plan, intent topics. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the plan, seat, feature and credit rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the annual total it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote 12 ZoomInfo Professional seats with buyer intent and custom intent, the Demand Marketing plan with 40 intent topics. The annual total stated on the quote is $94,000. The rest of the request is on screen.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with six findings, all in one answer. Buyer intent signals come with Copilot Advanced or Copilot Enterprise, not with this Sales plan. Custom intent signals are part of Copilot Enterprise only. 40 intent topics are quoted; the Marketing plan allows 25. The other three are on screen.
  6. The validator returned six blocking findings in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other and against the stated total.
  7. What this shows: for a stated annual total that must match the build-up, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the sales plan to Copilot Enterprise, the marketing plan to ABM Lite and the chorus seats to 10.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. All six earlier findings are cleared.
  13. Six problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
