Sales Metrics that Matter in 2018
#SalesChats: Episode 45
Most organizations measure and examine sales metrics. But if a company isn’t tracking the right metrics, or using the metrics incorrectly, it can create complications and make it difficult to improve. Jason Jordan discusses sales metrics that matter in this #SalesChat, hosted by John Golden and Martha Neumeister.
Jordan explains:
• The specific metrics to look at when examining sales measurement and getting your team focused on the right things
• The importance of narrowing down the metrics you utilize
• Limiting the reporting and focus on the things that are important for better sales performance
• Stop focusing on what happened, and start examining what you can do to move forward so you don’t repeat the same problems
• Be focused on the right things that sales reps are doing, instead of the bad things they are doing
• How to look at the metrics and use that information to improve results
• Pinpoint what you want to change, the behavior, or the outcome, and then explore different ways to best help make these changes
• The best ways to enact change using the frontline sales managers
• How to collaborate on creating an outcome
• Survey the sales people regularly and explore if they get the right coaching from their sales managers; place metrics around sales managers
• The fallacy that successful salespeople will become successful sales managers
