The Deal Desk team's mission is to streamline the opportunity management process while acting as a trusted business partner for field sales. We are the first point of contact for sales support.
The Deal Desk team is located around the world and will be available during standard business hours within most regions. We operate under a Regional Support Model, meaning, each region (EMEA/APAC/AMER) will receive support from a dedicated regional team of Deal Desk Specialists and Analysts.
For Alliances & Private Offer Creation, this process is supported by one team member globally, with managers trained as back ups for escalation points. For all Alliances deals, each region will be supported by a dedicated Deal Desk Analyst who specializes in Alliances, based out of AMER (Pacific Time).
During holidays, or when team members are on PTO, individuals located in a different regional may step in to support and ensure appropriate coverage. This is reserved for End of Month/End of Quarter, or other times when the team is short-staffed.
Support will be provided based on the following business hours in the respective region. If a complex case or non standard deal request is submitted after 4:00PM (Local Time) the case will be prioritized the following business day.
Region | Standard Support Hours |
---|---|
APAC | 8:00AM to 5:00PM (IST) |
EMEA | 8:00AM to 5:00PM (GMT) |
AMER / LATAM | 7:00AM to 5:00PM (PT) |
Our regional teams do not operate on a 24/7 support model. If your request is submitted after 4:30PM local time, or outside of standard support hours, it may not be reviewed until the following business day. The only exceptions for this are End of Month/End of Quarter. Support hours and availability will be shared in advance of high volume periods through #field-fyi.
As of 2022-02-01, the Deal Desk team is structured as follows:
AMER Team:
EMEA/APAC TEAM:
Deal Desk's primary communication channel is Salesforce Chatter. When you chatter @Sales-Support
, it will automatically create a case in the Deal Desk/Order Management queue.
@Sales-Support
for SFDC requests or post #sales-support
in Slack for general questions.
@Sales-Support
to communicate with the team in chatter.For cases related to Account Segmentation (ROE, Territory), account data, or account merges, Deal desk will reassign these cases to our Sales Operations team to review and resolve.
Use our Slack channel in case of general, non-record related requests and/or urgent questions: #sales-support [If the request is related to a quote, opportunity, or account - please chatter on the page in Salesforce instead of the Slack channel.]
Please avoid contacting the DD team members directly via Slack. Utlizing the #sales-support
channel is best to ensure timely coverage, helps others who may have similar questions, and aligns with our Transparency value.
In case of a specific opportunity or quote related question please use SF Chatter (see section Salesforce Chatter Communication)
Desk Desk process updates and announcements will be communicated via #field-fyi, #sales and #sales-support Slack channels.
Weekly Deal Desk Office Hours are scheduled as follows:
During Month End, Office Hours will take place on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, scheduled in both AMER and EMEA time zones. Calendar invites will be sent to Sales-All Distribution group. Priority will be given to opportunities closing within the quarter.
Supported topics include:
Deal Desk AMA's are an opportunity to invite someone from Deal Desk to your local team call. We can help address any questions regarding quote processes, best practices, or unique deal structures. Think of this as an opportunity for your team to learn together on general topics for quoting or opportunity management. For specific questions related to in-flight opportunities, it is best to join Deal Desk Office Hours.
Chatter or Slack #sales-support if you are interested in having Deal Desk join your team call!
The Deal Desk team will do their best to respond to each request to '@sales-support' within 6 business hours. Revenue generating or current quarter requests will take priority, especially during Month & Quarter End. If a task is not resolved within 24 hours it will be escalated (if necessary). The SLAs below are applicable (especially for contract resets and ramp deals) if all the necessary information is provided in the request.
Type of Request | First Response | Resolution |
---|---|---|
Basic Quote Assistance | 6 Hours | 8 Hours |
Ramp Deal | 6 Hours | 24 hours |
Alliances, General Support | 8 Hours | 48 Hours |
Alliances, Private Offer Creation | 24 Hours | 48 Hours |
Flat Renewal | 6 Hours | 24 Hours |
IACV/ARR Review | 6 Hours | 24 Hours |
Contract Reset / Co-Term | 6 Hours | 24 Hours |
RFP/Vendor Forms | 6 Hours | Dependent on AM |
The Deal Desk team will respond to E0A Ramp requests as quickly as possible. However, due to the complexity involved in building ramp deals, the SLA for an EoA Ramp Deal Order Form creation is as follows:
Subscription Term Start Date | First Response | Resolution |
---|---|---|
< 30 days in the future | 6 Hours | 1 Business Day |
> 30 days in the future | 6 Hours | 3 Business Days |
A Deal Desk team member will respond to your chatter request with an estimate on when the Order Form will be complete. Please let us know if your customer requires the quote in advance due to lengthy procurement cycles or budget planning reasons - exceptions will be considered in cases of urgency, or to meet a customer's needs.
Cases that are urgent, customer impacting, or critical to business may be prioritized upon request. If the case has been submitted after Standard Support hours, you may escalated the case for a different regional team to review in the #sales-support Slack channel. You may also tag regional Deal Desk Managers for review and assistance in delegating the case.
Cases in this queue must be urgent and business critical. Cases that are routinely escalated out of individual convenience instead of legitimate urgency will be addressed with Sales Management.
Cases / Average First Response
All regions will receive a Quarterly Customer Satisfaction survey at the beginning of each new quarter. Our team aims for a 92% satisfaction rating for their supported region. This survey is a valuable tool to provide feedback on areas of improvement related to the Quote to Cash lifecyle.
Results from the survey will be used to evaluate team member performance and to identify areas for improvement.
The Deal Desk team will be responsible for taking action on feedback received in our Quarterly CSAT survey by improving process related to common quoting errors, opportunity bugs, or gaps in process documentation. The goal is to decrease the number of cases and enable the field to complete the standard duties related to quoting without Deal Desk intervention. Deal Desk will always assist in complex or non-standard deals.
In addition, the following reports are used to ensure an evenly balanced workload between team members. Data will be used to identify process gaps, inefficiencies, and trends or common errors in the Quote to Cash lifecycle with the mission to improve these areas.
(LIST REPORTS USED TO TRACK GENERAL VOLUME AND WORKLOAD)
In an effort to proactively prevent common order issues (especially those that would require a customer to resign our order form) the Deal Desk team will conduct a manual review of all opps that meet the following criteria:
Team members will review opps in their region each week. We are looking for anything that would prevent the opportunity from booking smoothly, including:
Review Cadence
The team will review opps on a monthly basis, as time allows throughout the work week. During the last month of any quarter, the review will be conducted weekly.
To calculate ARR, please review the ARR in Practice handbook page.

This quote type should be only used when new users are being added to an existing subscription during the current subscription term. This includes both additional licenses to existing products, and true-ups. This also includes any scenario where the products are being changed during the term - i.e., an upgrade from Premium to Ultimate. Amendment quotes cannot extend a subscription term.
Amendments to subscriptions must be processed entirely before any changes can be made via additional amendments or a renewal opportunity. This means that the Add On Opportunity should be Closed-Won before submitting a Renewal opportunity for approval.

This quote type should be used when the customer has reached the end of their subscription term and wishes to renew the subscription for another term, using the same term start date.
Note: "Renew Subscription" quotes should be used even if the customer is renewing for a different term length than the previous period. i.e. If the customer is renewing a 12 month subscription for 24 months, choose "Renew Subscription" and enter "24" in the Renewal Term field.

In accordance with Section 6 of the GitLab Subscription Agreement, customers may be required to pay for Overage Users upon the expiration of a Subscription Term in order to renew the Software.
Effective 2021-11-15, the "Trueup" SKU has been deprecated and replaced with 6 new annual True-Up SKUs, each of which ties to the related subscription SKU. When creating quotes that include a backward looking, one-time True-Up charge, please select the appropriate True-Up SKU as listed below. For the avoidance of doubt, you must select the True-Up SKU related to the subscription SKU that was in use when the True-Up was incurred.
Example 1: A customer has a 100 user SaaS - Premium subscription. At renewal, you learn that the customer incurred 5 Overage Users during the initial subscription term. On the renewal quote, you will select True-Up (Annually) - SaaS - Premium SKU with a quantity of 5.
Example 2: A customer has a 500 user Self-Managed - Premium subscription. At renewal, they are upgrading to Self-Managed Ultimate for 600 users. During the renewal conversation, you learn that the customer incurred 50 Overage Users during the initial subscription term. On the renewal quote, you will select the True-Up (Annually) - Self-Managed - Premium SKU with a quantity of 50. You will also add the Self-Managed Ultimate SKU for 600 users, and then remove the Self-Managed - Premium SKU.
Self-Managed True-Up SKUs
SaaS True-Up SKUs
To streamline the quoting process, we have created a new product selection step, called "True Ups." When selecting SKUs to add products to a quote, the new True-Up SKUs will display under the third and final page. Previously the "Trueup" SKU was displayed under "Add Add On Products."
On this new Guided Selling "True Ups" screen, you must select the appropriate True-Up SKU, as displayed below:
There are 2 types of co-terming:
As of 2021-01-26, the following changes have been made to the quoting process in relation to the end of availability of Starter/Bronze:
Silver/Premium + Gold/Ultimate Legacy SKU Quoting Guide
As of 2021-01-26, the following changes have been made to the quoting process in relation to the renaming of Silver and Gold:
Salesforce Guided Selling filters have been updated. Legacy SKUs have been removed where appropriate, resulting in a shorter, cleaner list of products that can be sold. Legacy SKUs from previous product deprecations have also been removed.
New Rate Plan Name | Legacy Name |
---|---|
SaaS - Premium | Silver |
Self-Managed - Premium | Premium |
SaaS - Ultimate | Gold |

Follow the standard process for quote creation. The Quote Object does not need to be approved before generating a Draft proposal.
Important Notes
Occasionally an opportunity will require a unique structure that is outside of the normal quote format. Examples of these scenarios are listed below. Deal Desk will partner with the Account Owner to structure the opportunity and provide guidance on creating the quote. Please chatter on the opportunity if you need assistance with one of these scenarios!
Contract Resets are used to perform an "Early Renewal" - i.e. start a new 12 month subscription before the renewal date. They can also be used if a customer needs to change a billing date or would like to change the term length, mid term.
@Sales-Support
in Chatter on the Renewal Opportunity to create a credit opportunity and quote to cancel the existing subscription, which in this scenario is being replaced with the new subscription. Deal Desk will then manually generate a Contract Reset Opp and Order Form to add the credit line into the order form once the quote has been fully approved.On the main contract reset opportunity, populate the "Opportunity Category" field with "Contract Reset." On the associated credit opportunity, populate the "Opportunity Category" field with "Credit."
All Contract Reset opportunities will be classified as a "Renewal" and will be subect to ARR Basis, which will impact overall Net ARR depending on the scenario.
For more information on ARR calculation for Contract Resets, see ARR in Practice.
Concurrent Subscriptions are two unique subscriptions (instances) for Self Managed and SaaS issued for the purpose of supporting a large customer migration over an extended period. This does not allow the customer to use Self Managed and SaaS on the same instance.
Approvals for this deal strucutre will follow the standard approval matrix.
** Deal Structure Requirements**
Deal Desk will work closely with Sales, Legal, and Revenue to ensure all booking requirements are met. Please work directly with Deal Desk to structure this deal accurately. Please tag sales support early in the deal negotiation.
In the case of multi-year deals, the Initial Term should be updated to reflect the number of months in the subscription term - 24, 36, 48, 60, etc.
For prepaid multi-year deals, you must select the correct multi-year SKU (i.e. for a prepaid 2 year SaaS - Premium deal, select “SaaS - Premium - 2 Year”). Prepaid multi-year deals that do not utilize the correct multi-year SKU will be rejected.
For multi-year deals, paid annually, you must select the 1 Year SKU, and click on the Annual Payments checkbox to add the necessary payment language to the Order Form. Multi-year deals paid annually that do not utilize the correct 1 Year SKU will be rejected.
For more information on ARR calculation for Multi-Year Deals, see ARR in Practice.
A ramp deal is when a contracts a multi-year deal for users that will be fulfilled on a set annual schedule throughout the duration of the multi-year subscription term. In a Ramp, users are prorated from when they will be added. The customer pays upfront, or annually, for all users planned in the ramp schedule. For Amendment quotes, the customer adds users throughout the subscription with no set schedule.
Ramp deals are limited to multi-year deals, with 12 month ramp periods. See ARR in Practice for more information.
A. To create a ramp deal, tag @Sales-Support in chatter on the opportunity. Provide the following information for each ramp period:
B. Request template:
C. Deal Desk will create the quotes and Order Form.
On the opportunity, populate the "Opportunity Category" field with "Ramp."
For more information on ARR calculation for Ramp Deals, see ARR in Practice.
Occasionally, changes will be made to a Custom SOW after an opportunity has been booked. These changes could include delivery (invoice) schedules or types of services delivered. The total value of the opportunity should not change. If the total value of an opportunity is negatively impacted, this will require an internal refund and rebooking of the order. Should there be additional revenue generated as a result of this Change Order, a new Professional Services Only opportunity is required to account for the delta value.
Deal Desk will create Decommission (refund) opportunities for all Sales Assisted Orders. The Billing team will create Decommission (refund) opportunities for all Web Portal purchases. The creation process is the same for both Deal Desk and Billing.
To create the decommission opportunity, navigate to the related Closed-Won Opportunity. Click 'Create Refund Opportunity'. Navigate to the opportunities tab under the Account page. Click on the newly created decommission opp, it will have 'REFUND' in the opportuntiy name. On the opportunity level, double check all fields populated as expected. For some multi-year deals, or partial refunds, 'Amount' may need to be updated manually.
Deal Desk - After confirming all fields are correct on a Sales Assisted decommission, submit the opp for approval. Billing - After confirming all the fields are correct on a Web Portal Purchase, manually change the 'Stage' to 'Closed-Won'.
If an opportunity requires multiple invoices due to a specific professional services delivery schedule, a separate opportunity is required for each invoice period. If there is no difference in number of seats or price across the years only one subscription and quote would be required (ie. Invoice Only opps do not require a quote object).
In FY22, multi year deals for recurring subscription products, paid annually, will be captured on one opportunity.
Opportunity Structure
Invoice Amounts
If all payments associated with the opportunity are equal (ex. 3 payments of $10,000) the quote on the original opporunity must reflect the entire opportunity term.
Ex.
3 Year Subscription worth $30,000, broken out into 3 equal annual payments of $10,000.
If the payment amounts or user count per year are not identical, (ex. Year 1 - $15,000 Year 2 - $10,000, Year 3 $5,000)- then the original opporunity quote should only reflect the first year (invoice period) of the subscription.
Ex.
3 Year Subscription worth $30,000, broken out into 3 payments. Year 1 - $10,000, Year 2 - $7,000, Year 3 $13,000
Ex. Professional Services Deal -Opportunity amount $300,000. 4 Deliverables are outlined in the Custom SOW to the customer, each deliverable includes a different date for delivery. This requires 4 opportunities because the customer will be invoiced after completion of each deliverable.
To create opportunities requiring multiple invoices:
Note: The "Payment Schedule" field on each opportunity should be populated with the value "Annual Payments" or "Custom Payment Schedule," whichever applies.
Add-Ons to Opportunities with Multiple Billing Events
A. To add users to an existing license at a different price, please add the users on a new, separate product line.
B. To create a true-up/add-on quote for a multi-year deal, please add both the true-up and increase the license count by the same number of users. Note that the user number cannot decrease during the term of a multi-year deal - i.e. in the case of a three-year deal, if the customer exceeds the 100 license count by 25 users, (1) True-Up SKU with 25 users, and (2) increase the license quantity from 100 to 125.
C. If the customer signs a renewal quote, but a true-up is required before the renewal date, create an add-on opportunity from the closed renewal opportunity, use the same start date as the renewal, and add the necessary true-up.
D. If you have multiple quote objects under one opportunity, the quote you are using must be marked Primary.
Effective Friday, 2022-04-08, Deal Desk manages AWS and GCP Private Offer creation and acceptance.
Please note that Deal Desk handles only Private Offer creation, edits to Private Offers, and the acceptance of Private Offers. For any other matters related to Alliances deals, Sales must work with the appropriate ABDM.
