Guide to Measuring Sales Performance

Overview

With so many sales organizations performing so poorly, more money should be invested in performance improvement consulting, methodology and process work and training programs. But it isn’t. One major reason is the inability of most vendors and customer to construct a credible business case that will result in adequate funding.

While it sounds simple on the surface, a sound sales performance measurement program must not only consider history but provide predictive, actionable metrics to management. The program needs to show trends over time, and enable sales management to determine the effects on various different performance improvement programs (from training to sales support software tools to compensation packages). The measurement program must be comprehensive, accurate, objective and provide useful information to management.

Also, any measurement program needs to be able to determine the effect of internal performance improvement factors from external company, and broader market and environmental factors.

While there are many ways to skin the cat, there are several key components that are crucial to a successful measurement program. ESR has defined these key components.
