Key Performance Indicators | Online Help - Zoho CRM

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a standard measurement that demonstrates the effectiveness of your sales team in achieving important business objectives, it also gives useful analytics to help sales personnel increase their productivity by measuring their performance on a regular basis. For example, a sales manager wants to monitor the top 10 sales reps in terms of average annual revenue each of them have achieved. He can easily accomplish this by creating a ranking style KPI by defining the average annual revenue as the KPI metric.

Based on your industry requirement, you can choose from five different types of KPI styles:

  • Standard
  • Growth Index
  • Basic
  • Scorecard
  • Rankings - Data can be ranked by day, calendar week, fiscal week, month, fiscal quarter, and year.
