This builds on two things: the Company ID that syncs onto every employer and
broker record, and the employer-to-broker-office link from Linking Employers to
Their Primary Broker Office. Set up the
link first if you want the broker-level reports.
The core idea
Map BenefitFlow’s Company ID field onto your synced records. Any account or deal with a Company ID came from BenefitFlow. That one field lets you separate BenefitFlow-sourced activity from everything else in your pipeline.Reports to build
Sourced pipeline
Sourced pipeline
Filter open deals or opportunities where Company ID is not empty, grouped by
stage. This is the pipeline volume that came from BenefitFlow accounts. Track it over
time as your core sourced-pipeline number.
Closed-won revenue
Closed-won revenue
Filter closed-won deals where Company ID is populated and sum the contract value.
This is your direct, reportable return. Compare it to your subscription cost each
quarter.
Book of business by broker office
Book of business by broker office
Group employer accounts by their linked primary broker office and count employers
per office. This shows which offices hold the most opportunity in your market. (Needs
the employer-to-broker-office
link.)
Broker office whitespace

For each broker office, compare its linked employers against the employers where you
have an open or won deal. The gap is your whitespace: accounts you can see through
BenefitFlow but haven’t worked yet.
Time to engage
Time to engage
Capture the date a record first synced from BenefitFlow, then measure the days until
the first activity or deal. Shorter time-to-engage is a leading sign of healthy
adoption.
Best practices
- Make Company ID a required field on any deal that starts from an employer account, so attribution happens automatically
- Build a dashboard that refreshes weekly with sourced pipeline and closed-won revenue, and share it with your leadership team
- Use the whitespace report to find broker offices with many linked employers but no active deals. Those are your highest-priority targets
- At renewal, bring your closed-won-from-BenefitFlow number alongside your subscription cost. It’s your strongest case for renewing
- Set a Lead Source of “BenefitFlow” at sync, using a Custom Value mapping. This gives you a durable attribution tag that doesn’t depend on an ID staying constant
On ID changes: BenefitFlow IDs can change as company data is reconciled. Your
sourced and closed-won reports still hold up, since they only check whether a Company
ID is present and any synced record carries one. Just don’t treat a specific ID as a
permanent key for long-term reporting. The Lead Source tag above is the durable
backstop.
If your CRM uses owner-based matching (the same employer can exist once per
record owner), count distinct employers by Company ID rather than by record, so
shared accounts aren’t double-counted. See Configurable CRM
Matching.
