The sales managers that oversee the day-to-day operation of your sales organization know what it takes to be successful. They aren’t interested in dashboards that were designed by someone else. They want access to detailed order data and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) that they can slice, dice and display what they know is important.

The right answer

The metrics of your sales success are unique to your organization. if you have a team of more than one, your sales manager needs to be able to evaluate individual productivity as well as the aggregate.

With sales analysis tools that your managers can manipulate themselves, they can monitor:

  • Sales by day, week or month with comparisons to previous results.
  • The number of orders per sales rep, tracking to quotas.
  • The value and number of orders by product line.

To compete in today’s fast paced environment, you need managers armed with the data that tells them exactly where sales stand.
