What is a Sales Dashboard?
Sales Dashboards are your one-stop shop for tracking your team's sales performance and trajectory.
They allow you to see the results of all your team's efforts, from leads and revenue potential to conversions and revenue collected. This can also act as a Sales Scorecard that you can use as a leaderboard for your team to motivate them.
Any sort of overview of sales activity can be displayed in a dashboard and it will make your team conversations more effective, save you time, and give you one central location to start your sales evaluation!
Web-based Sales KPI Dashboards
Web-based sales dashboards like Google (Data) Looker Studio or Microsoft Power BI are excellent for your entire team to use and have access to. They often link to CRM data and accounting data (ex. Quickbooks) to join the two up! Because of that, they are mostly automated so this will really help eliminate headaches from a stereotypically manual process.
Everyone on your team or leadership team can be looking at the same thing at the same time and be on the same page. They are only as good as the data that's entered in places like your CRM, but once that is set, you are off on your automated and efficient sales conversations, driven by your dashboard!

There are also a lot of opportunities for inputs and team member selections so you can have the dashboard be completely interactive and real input from your team reflected right on the dashboard in an instant!
