Join us on our next Webinar on how to track Sales Targets with Workbooks CRM. Webinar is on Wednesday 22nd November at 2pm UK time.
Here are some potential benefits of tracking salespeople's sales targets in a CRM system:
- Provides visibility into sales performance and progress towards goals. Having targets tracked in the CRM gives managers insight into how each salesperson is doing compared to their expected quotas or objectives. This enables better coaching and support.
- Enables data-driven compensation and incentives. Many companies tie sales commission and bonuses to performance against sales targets. Tracking targets in the CRM facilitates managing and calculating these variable compensation plans.
- Drives accountability and motivation. When salespeople know their targets are being monitored, they may be more motivated to achieve them. The transparency creates accountability.
- Improves forecasting accuracy. Sales forecasts are often based on bottom-up projections from salespeople. Tracking their committed targets helps improve forecast reliability and precision.
- Allows analysis of sales performance. Analyzing trends in target attainment, win rates, etc. can shed light on strengths, weaknesses, and training needs across the sales team. The data can lead to process improvements.
- Facilitates territory planning and optimization. Understanding each salesperson's targets and capacity for deals can help optimize assignment of accounts and workloads. This enables efficiency gains.
The key benefit is enhanced visibility. Tracking targets centralizes the data and creates transparency to better understand, monitor, and guide sales activities. With proper adoption, it's a valuable tool for sales management.
