Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Some of the options mentioned in this document are being released in a phased manner and may only be available to specific users.
The Dashboards tab is renamed as Analytics for selected accounts.

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.
