How do I create a Shared Audience?

You can create additional custom shared audiences based on criteria you include (or exclude) like Stages, Segments, tags, and other information like the contact source (e.g. Google Contacts). Depending on your role, these shared audiences allow team members to share contacts and other information like companies and deals with other team members. Team members can also access contacts, companies, and deals in the shared view.

To define an audience you'll set what you wish to include:

  • Everyone in the shared team view 
  • Organized Contacts (Edited, assigned, tagged, staged, segmented)
  • Assigned to You (depending on the visibility you have into shared contacts)
  • Stages
  • Segments
  • Accounts (Google, Office 365
  • Custom Fields
  • Tags
Similarly, you can also set the criteria of contacts you wish to exclude:
  • Not Assigned to You
  • Stages
  • Segments
  • Custom Fields
  • Tags

Creating a Custom Audience

1.) Tap on the Audience dropdown menu. Then tap on the Audiences Edit icon.

The menu you see here is the last audience you have selected. You may see My People (Cloze's default audience) or a different audience name that you previously selected like My Sphere or My Focus.

In this example, the My People audience is selected. 

2.) Scroll down to Shared Audiences and select New Audience.

3.) Enter the name of your new audience. 

In steps 4 and 5 below please find detailed definitions of the ways you can include or exclude contacts for your custom audience. When you are done tap on the Create button. 

4.) Select the contacts you wish to include.

The are several options you can use to define your audience. Remember, Audiences are dynamic so as you add or remove any criteria they will adjust automatically. 

Note: It is important to note that if any criteria are met the contact will be included or excluded from the audience. 

Include Everyone from the Shared Audience (Shared Team View)

This shared view contains a  copy of…
  • people that have been shared by you and your team members
  • the companies that have been shared 
  • and the deals/projects/properties that have been shared 
Whenever you share information with your team you are  copying it from your Cloze account to your shared team view. 

The shared view is a composite.

  • It is a composite of your information plus the information shared by your team members. 
  • The Shared view includes…
    • contact information (email, phone, address, etc.) and other key details about the contact like the Stage, Segment, Next Steps, and Tags
