Sales targets: How to track them in your CRM?

Table of contents

Staying focused on the numbers that will grow your business is easy with OnePageCRM’s new targets widget.

When enabled, the targets widget is displayed on the left-hand side of your Action Stream and Contact view. It’s a reminder of the most important numbers you need to stay on track and grow your business.

“Keep your eyes on the prize.” “Aim for the moon, if you miss you may hit the stars.” “The goal should be out of reach but not out of sight.”

The list goes on…

The motivational quotes are great for getting yourself out of bed on Mondays. But when it comes to sales, you need targets that are measurable.

Simply put, you need to know where you’re going and when you want to get there.

Targets, of course, differ from company to company, from department to department. Be it the number of closed deals, converted leads, increased website traffic or Instagram likes of your adorable puppy mascot, targets are what keeps your company growing and your sales rocketing.

And what better way to ensure that you hit your (ambitious but attainable) targets than to have them in front of your eyes?

Forget the whiteboards and TV KPI screens. Track your targets right there where you get your sales done—in your OnePageCRM Action Stream.

Step 3. Choose the main sales target

We offer you three options:

  • Conversions: Choose the number of conversions you wish to achieve per week, month, quarter, or year. Conversions are measured by changing a contact’s status, i.e. from a lead to a prospect.
  • Calls: Choose the number of calls you want to make per day/week/month/quarter/year. Your call target will be updated each time you log a call for a contact, regardless of its result.
  • Revenue: The Revenue target is based on your Expected Total of Won + Pending deals in your Pipeline and can be calculated by month, quarter, or year.

How does the Targets Widget help with sales motivation?

We built the Targets Widget for a reason: it can help you motivate your sales team and be more productive.

Here are just a few benefits of how the Targets Widget can help:

  • Measure your progress. The Targets Widget will help salespeople to stay on track and allow managers to see exactly how individual sales rep’s activity impacts the overall business goals.
  • Prioritize tasks. With defined targets right in front of you, it’s easier to stay focused and set your Next Actions accordingly.
  • Accelerate the sales cycle. Deadlines are good. Connecting them to the targets will help sales teams manage their time more efficiently and ultimately achieve faster results.
  • Visualize your journey. The targets widget will update with each associated completed action or conversion, allowing you to clearly see how close you are getting to your ultimate goal. Plus, it’s harder to ignore a target or a deadline when it’s right in front of your eyes.

So there you have it the OnePageCRM’s Motivational Targets Widget is available and ready to help you hit those sales targets!
