Points System | Pulse Guide

How Points Work

Points are the core metric in Pulse. Every activity you log earns base points, and you can boost your earnings with streak bonuses and achievement rewards.

Total Points = Base Points + Streak Bonus

Simple, time-based approach: 1 point = 6 minutes of work

Phil's Philosophy

1 point = 6 minutes of work - Simple, time-based calculation
10 points = meeting value - Activities that result in conversations
30 points = high-value outcome - Creating real opportunities
Streak Bonus: +10% per consecutive day (up to 50% max)

Benchmarks

Average day (no appointments): ~55 points
Good day: 100+ points

Activity Point Values

Each activity type has a base point value. Higher-value activities (like bookings) are worth more because they require more effort and have bigger impact.

Activity	Points	Logic
LI Sent LinkedIn	1	~6 min work
Dials Made Outreach	1	~6 min work
Original Contact Outreach	1	~6 min work
Follow Up Outreach	1	~6 min work
LI Accepted LinkedIn	10	Meeting-value activity
Person Reached Outreach	10	Meeting-value activity
Podcast Meeting Podcast	10	~60 min = 10 pts
Podcast Booked Podcast	10	Meeting-value activity
VDC Ran VDC	10	Meeting-value activity
Opp Created Deals	30	High-value outcome

Example Calculations

Let's walk through some real scenarios to see how points add up.

Scenario 1: Basic Outreach with Streak

You have a 3-day streak. You log 10 LI Sent and 2 LI Accepted.

            LI Sent (10 × 1 pt)
            10
          
            LI Accepted (2 × 10 pts)
            20
          
            Subtotal base
            30
          
            Streak bonus (20% of 30)
            +6
          
            Total
            36 points

Scenario 2: Podcast Booking with Max Streak

You have a 7-day streak (50% max bonus). You log 1 Podcast Booked.

            Base points (1 × 10 pts)
            10
          
            Streak bonus (50% of 10)
            +5
          
            Total
            15 points

Scenario 3: Strong Day with Opportunity

5-day streak (40%). You log: 20 LI Sent, 5 Dials, 1 Person Reached, 1 Opp Created.

            LI Sent (20 × 1)
            20
          
            Dials Made (5 × 1)
            5
          
            Person Reached (1 × 10)
            10
          
            Opp Created (1 × 30)
            30
          
            Subtotal base
            65
          
            Streak bonus (40% of 65)
            +26
          
            Total
            91 points

Pro Tips for Maximizing Points

Never break the streak: Even on slow days, log at least 1 activity to maintain your multiplier
Meeting-value activities: LI Accepted, Person Reached, Podcast meetings = 10 pts each
Create opportunities: Opp Created at 30 pts is your biggest single-action earner
Batch your logs: The streak bonus applies to all activities, so a 50% streak on a big day = huge points
Aim for 55+ daily: That's Phil's benchmark for an average day without appointments
100 point days: These are "good days" - a mix of outreach + meeting-value activities
