Sales Managers

Sales managers are ultimately responsible for achieving one goal: helping their team of sales reps achieve the quota established by the organization.

Sales manager role is arguably the most important and most difficult job in the sales organization. They play a major role in sales rep performance through high valued activities such as coaching, helping reps strategize about sales opportunities,and managing the sales process through weekly one-on-ones’, and monthly and quarterly business reviews. They also support senior sales management by pushing the sales forecast process and providing supporting information about their team and its progress towards the sales quotas. This limit their ability to focus on the high-value activities such as coaching, and strategizing sales opportunities with sales reps that can have the biggest impact on rep productivity and quota attainment.

Key metrics over time, for a particular sales rep or for all sales reps for peer to peer analysis including areas like: close one, close lost metrics, including average cycle time; new opps and pushed out opps; comprehensive win rate and average opportunity size; information about pushed deals.
AI driven insights that interpret the metrics and highlight potential training opportunities or positive or negative trends
