Welcome to the sixth and final tutorial in our Building an AI-powered sales funnel course!

After running our AI-powered outreach campaign, understanding its impact and extracting meaningful insights becomes crucial for future success. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to use Claude to analyze your campaign data and create comprehensive reports that demonstrate your campaign's effectiveness to stakeholders.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to:

  • Export and analyze your campaign engagement data
  • Create dashboards using Claude
  • Build data-driven insights from your campaign results
  • Generate executive-level reports showing campaign impact

Let’s get to it!

Exporting your campaign data

First, let's gather your data from HubSpot where all your campaign information is stored. Navigate to your contacts section containing the prospects from your Reply.io campaign:

To export contacts, navigate to CRM > Contacts > All Contacts and select the export option at the top right of the table.

First, ensure that all columns are added to the current view by clicking on "Edit Columns" and including all the columns you want in the analysis, such as engagement data and enriched information stored.

You can also select “All properties on records” while exporting the data to ensure that all data is exported without manually adding columns to the view.

💡 Tip: Before exporting, use HubSpot's filters to include only contacts who were part of your Reply.io campaign. This ensures your analysis stays focused on relevant data and makes your insights more accurate.

Create interactive dashboards with Claude

Now that you have your campaign data in CSV format, let's use Claude to create an insightful dashboard. The key is to structure our request to help Claude understand exactly what kind of visualizations will be most valuable.

Use this prompt:

Create a dashboard using my campaign CSV data with these key components:

1. Engagement metrics:

a. Response rates over time
b. Lead score distribution
c. Email interaction breakdown (opens, clicks, replies)

2. Performance analysis:

a. Daily engagement patterns
b. Response quality metrics
c. Task completion overview

Make it interactive with date filters and tooltips. Use professional colors and clear labels for all metrics.

Take some time to explore the different visualizations and interact with the filters to understand your data from various angles.

Analyzing engagement patterns

Now that we have our interactive dashboard, let's dig deeper into what the data is telling us about campaign performance. While the visualizations give us a great overview, we need to understand the underlying patterns that drive success.

Use this prompt for analysis:

Using the campaign CSV data and focusing on our dashboard metrics, analyze:

1. Engagement patterns:

a. Which types of prospects are most likely to respond
b. Common characteristics of high-engagement contacts
c. Timing patterns in successful interactions

2. Response quality:

a. Patterns in meaningful conversations
b. Factors contributing to positive responses
c. Common objections or concerns

Provide detailed analysis explaining what these patterns suggest for future campaign strategy.

Review Claude's analysis carefully, paying particular attention to any unexpected patterns or correlations. These often provide the most valuable insights for improving future campaigns.

💡 Tip: Look for patterns in both successful and unsuccessful interactions. Understanding why some prospects didn't engage can be just as valuable as knowing why others did.

Identifying optimization opportunities

With our initial analysis complete, it's time to identify specific areas for improvement. We'll ask Claude to help us uncover actionable insights that can enhance future campaign performance.

You can adjust the prompt below based on the data exported from your HubSpot account into the CSV file.

Use this prompt to find ways to optimize:

Based on the campaign data and previous analysis, please identify:

1. Message templates with the highest engagement rates (optional)
2. Characteristics of highly engaged prospects
3. Potential areas for process improvement

For each point, please provide:

a. Specific data supporting the finding
b. Clear explanation of why this pattern matters
c. Actionable recommendations for improvement


Include specific examples and metrics where relevant.

💡 Tip: Create a prioritized list of improvements based on potential impact and ease of implementation. This helps focus your optimization efforts where they'll matter most.

Creating executive reports

The final step is transforming these insights into a compelling story for stakeholders. A good executive report balances detailed analysis with strategic insights, focusing on impact and outcomes.

Before generating the report, consider your stakeholders' key interests:

  • What metrics matter most to them?
  • What decisions will this report inform?
  • What level of detail is appropriate?

Use this comprehensive prompt to generate your executive report:

Create an executive summary of our campaign performance including:

1. Campaign overview:

a. Total reach and impact metrics
b. Key performance indicators
c. Engagement analysis

2. Key findings:

a. Most effective strategies
b. High-value prospect profiles
c. Notable trends and patterns

3. Strategic recommendations:

a. Specific improvement actions
b. Future campaign strategies

Format as a professional report with an executive summary, clear visualizations, and a detailed appendix.
