Everything You Need to Know About a Sales Performance Analysis [Infographic]

What is a sales performance analysis anyway? Why do businesses need one? And how can you perform one today?

Simply put, the sales performance analysis is a tool that helps a business answer the questions “Where are we?” and “Where do we need to be?” While the name itself is quite straightforward, it is a complex undertaking that requires several data sources in order to produce insight that is truly valuable and actionable. In fact, many successful organizations have their sales leaders undergo management training for the purpose of learning how to conduct an effective sales performance analysis.

When done right, a sales performance analysis can produce significant benefits. It will allow business leaders to measure their present resources against their established sales missions, goals, and objects. It will also help the sales manager to make better business decisions, especially when allocating resources to the right sales activities.
