It recommends establishing leading and lagging metrics, developing a theory based on buyer personas, interviewing top performers, and adjusting metrics over time based on business changes.

Ideas for Data-Driven Decisions

Ideas for Data-Driven Decisions
#MeasuringSalesMetrics@
Data needs to be accurate and real time...look forward...allow adjustments before the problem…
29. @PersistIQ
Summary...
#MeasuringSalesMetrics@
Make your insights your own and find a tool that allows you to do so…
Don’t assume generic data applied to all….make it yours…allow for
thought and customization...by role, by individual, by territory...
Let the people making decisions have visibility to the data that drives the
best decisions…
And use data/insights to think ahead/predict...make it real time and
adjust on the fly…not after bad things happen!!
