According to a recent Knowledge Tree study that tracked sales team performance, reps who received at least three hours of training per month exceeded their targets by 7%, increased revenue by 25%, and raised the close rate by a stunning 70%.
The benefits of providing ongoing coaching to your reps is now widely accepted, but another study by the Sales Management Association (see chart below) still shows that a lot of businesses aren’t that concerned about coaching their sales representatives.
The fact that 2 out of 3 sales representatives don’t hit their targets for the month, but those coached go above and beyond their sales targets, highlights how important it is to track sales team performance and provide the required help to reps who are not achieving their target.
This is only possible when you know the important sales metrics and KPIs that will tell you which areas in your sales process and team need tweaking. A list of such KPIs includes time spent selling, cost of sales to revenue ratio, average deal size, marketing collateral usage, lead response time, etc.
The easy way to get all this data in simple reports is to use sales performance tracking tools, such as those listed below.
