Moving over from BuildBetter

  1. 1Connect calls, tickets and Salesforce
  2. 2Import downloaded signals as a file
  3. 3Rank against your goals
How the move works

Connect the call, ticket and CRM accounts BuildBetter reads today, such as Gong or Zoom, Zendesk and Salesforce; Salesforce needs Zentrik's package installed. Zentrik builds its own evidence from them, so nothing has to be exported. For calls BuildBetter recorded itself, download the signals and import the file. docs 1 · 2 · 3 · 4

Before you switch

  • Shipped from GitHub, usage from PostHog

    Zentrik marks work shipped from GitHub and re-checks the usage number you pick in PostHog. BuildBetter also drafts the emails telling the customers who asked. source 1 · 2 · 3

  • Gong, Zoom and Teams, plus file imports

    Zentrik reads calls from Gong, Zoom and Teams meetings, and imports the transcripts and spreadsheets you export from other tools. BuildBetter also records calls itself. source 1 · 2 · 3

  • Votes tied to accounts, via your sign-in

    Zentrik's portal opens through your product's sign-in, so every vote is tied to an account. BuildBetter's boards can also be public. source 1 · 2

A fair test

  1. 1Agree what “worked” means
  2. 2Pick ten past decisions with known results
  3. 3Load only the evidence from before each one
  4. 4See which tool ranked the winners higher
The full test plan

Agree first on what "worked" means, and pick ten past decisions whose results you know. In fresh workspaces, load only the calls, tickets and deals from before each one, and note the credits BuildBetter uses to process them. Compare which ranks the winners higher against the goals you had then, and shows the calls and revenue behind each rank. Then interview the customers behind one live idea in each tool. Plan on two PMs part-time for three to four weeks, including security review.
