Points System Breakdown
Everything you need to know about earning points, bonuses, and climbing the leaderboard.
How Points Work
Points are the core metric in Pulse. Every logged activity unit counts as exactly one point.
Total Points = Logged Activity Units
Simple 1:1 approach: 1 logged unit = 1 point
Phil's Philosophy
- 1 logged unit = 1 point - Every activity uses the same ratio
- No weighted actions - Bookings, VDCs, discovery calls, and opportunities all count 1:1
- Scoreboards stay count-based - Higher totals mean more logged activity, not hidden weighting
Benchmarks
- Average day: Track the actual activity count
- Good day: More completed actions, logged consistently
Activity Point Ratio
Every activity type uses the same point ratio. One logged unit earns one point.

Pro Tips for Consistent Logging
- Never break the streak: Even on slow days, log at least 1 activity
- Count every action: Every logged unit adds exactly 1 point
- Create opportunities: Opp Created matters in the funnel, but it scores 1:1 like everything else
- Batch your logs: Logging 20 completed actions adds 20 points
- Watch the ratios: Use Team Comparison to see how activity converts into opportunities

📈 Weekly Leaderboard
Resets Sunday midnight. Tracks Monday-Sunday totals. This is where consistency pays off.
🏆 Monthly Leaderboard
Resets on the 1st of each month. The ultimate measure of sustained effort.
