Daily workflow
How to open LealUp every morning — My day, risk accounts, tasks, keyboard shortcuts.
This page describes how a CSM productively opens their day in LealUp. Goal: under 15 minutes to identify priorities and start executing.
Step 1 — "My day" (3 minutes)
When you log in, the first thing you see is My day.
A personalized dashboard with:
- Tasks due today — what you have to do today, with customer context.
- At-risk accounts — your customers with health score below threshold.
- Upcoming meetings — meetings within the next 24h with AI briefing from Alfred.
- Recent alerts — something changed in your portfolio that needs attention (sharp drop, new ticket, etc.).
- Activity summary — what happened yesterday with your portfolio.
What to look at:
- Alerts — anything urgent?
- At-risk accounts — new reds or old ones?
- Tasks — anything blocking me or easy win?
- Meetings — any that needs prep?
Step 2 — triage alerts (5 minutes)
Alerts come from playbooks, integrations, or analytics. Typical:
- "Acme health dropped 15 pts in 7 days" → review score audit, identify cause, act.
- "Globex opened 3 critical tickets this week" → prioritize reaching out.
- "Initech renewal in 30 days, in yellow" → escalate.
- "AI detected potential issue in Maria's email" → review conversation.
For each alert, decide:
- Act now (max 5 min) — quick response, create task, escalate.
- Schedule for today — create task with due date today.
- Defer — if it's not urgent, mute the alert with reason.
Step 3 — tasks (5 minutes)
Tasks → Today
Prioritize:
- Critical customer playbook tasks — red or renewal close.
- Responses to meeting requests or questions — less than 5 min each.
- QBR / check-in prep for upcoming meetings.
- Internal reviews (if you have any).
For each task: click Customer 360 to see context. Complete from the page or go back to Tasks and mark done.
Step 4 — prep upcoming meetings (if applicable)
If you have meetings today/tomorrow with external customers, review the AI briefing:
- Current health and trend.
- Last 3 emails + tone.
- Open tickets.
- Discussion topics suggested by Alfred.
If you want more context: ask Alfred directly, e.g., "What has been talked about with Acme this month?".
Keyboard shortcuts
There are three. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl instead of ⌘.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
⌘K | Open the command palette |
⌘ + / | Open Alfred |
⌘ + Enter | Send the email you are composing |
The command palette (⌘K)
It is the fastest way to move around LealUp without leaving the keyboard. It opens with ⌘K from any screen, or by clicking the search box in the top bar. It does three things:
- Search customers and contacts. Type once and it searches both, across your whole organization. It is the shortest path to a record when you know the name but not where it lives.
- Navigate. The main screens without going through the menu: Customers, My Tasks, Renewals, Calendar and Settings, among others.
- Act. Create a customer, import customers, or open Alfred.
That last one is worth remembering: opening Alfred is a palette command, so if ⌘K is the only shortcut you recall, you still get there.
"Close" the day
At end of day (optional but recommended):
- Tasks → Today — everything green or scheduled for tomorrow?
- My day → Summary — write a brief internal note (optional, for you).
- Reset Alerts — anything not acted upon that stays as parking lot? Flag or mute with reason.
Tomorrow you start clean.
Weekly routines
Something to do once a week (not daily):
- Mondays: review full portfolio, not just reds. Detect emerging trends.
- Wednesdays: 15-min 1:1 with director or review OKRs.
- Fridays: close pending tasks, escalate unresolved issues, prep weekend bulletin (if applicable).
If you work with many customers (>50)
Tactics:
- Territories / segments — don't look at everything, focus on the segment of the week.
- Batching — similar tasks together (e.g., 5 QBRs in a row instead of scattered).
- Delegate to playbooks — if something is repetitive, configure a playbook. You're not a macro.
Notifications
Configure in Settings → Notifications:
- Real-time in-app — for critical (new red, task due today).
- Email digest — daily (morning summary).
- Slack / WhatsApp — optional, for urgent.
If you feel overwhelmed by notifications, turn down the volume. Less noise = more focus on the real alerts.
