Love measuring up? Tracking your steps, your budget, what you eat? Applying that philosophy in your work will help you create deep, valuable relationships.
We love apps that help us quickly understand and compare our own behaviour with other people’s – our steps, our budget, what we eat, how we use energy. We can receive recommendations about how to become better and make adjustments that help us reach our goals.
Why wouldn’t we apply the same rationale to our work? Especially when high-performing sales organisations are 3.5 times more likely to do this than under-performers – using analytics apps to measure everything they do and get smarter about how they do it.
With the new Wave App for Sales — a totally redesigned analytics app that’s optimised for sales reps, managers and leaders, it’s easier than ever to use analytics for sales. It’s purpose-built to help sales teams focus on doing their job, rather than searching through spreadsheets to find what they need.
Monitor your KPIs including quota attainment, bookings, open pipe amount, completed activities and pipe coverage while focusing on opportunities that need the most attention. If there’s not enough in the pipeline, look across accounts and products to identify whitespace, as well as cross-sell and upsell opportunities. You can create and update opportunities, log tasks, or Chatter their managers without ever leaving the app.
Even with all of this taking less time than ever, it can be challenging to find time to track everything your manager needs you to. Wave lives on your homepage in Salesforce, offering new views into your accounts and opportunities, and making it easier to use because it's the first thing you see when you log in. Spend less time tracking and reporting, and more time building relationships.
Sales managers are focused on helping their teams hit the right numbers. With Wave for Sales, you can view your team’s performance against key KPIs including quota attainment, pipe generation, bookings and sales cycle — as well as how each member of the team ranks against those metrics. Tracking how team pipeline is changing over time, you can look past forecasting to focus on opportunities that have been pushed, reduced or lost – and keep the team on track.
Sales leaders and operations want to sell more. With Wave for Sales, you can can look at business across geographies, customer types and products. You can also monitor key KPIs such as booked business, year-over-year, and quarter-over-quarter growth, all by product, channel, segment or industry.
