What is a Sales Report

A sales report is a comprehensive document that analyzes all of a company's sales activity using numerous metrics, KPIs, and dimensions such as sales volume, revenue, team performance, opportunity pipeline, and so on. Sales managers, sales department heads, and sales team leaders use Sales reports to track their teams' progress.  

Sales reports are not just used to track a Sales department's progress, but they can also be helpful in the Marketing and Sales Operations departments. Sales team leaders should work with other managers from these two departments on making sure that each of their respective metrics lines up correctly for better business decision-making.

The importance of sales reporting

A sales report illustrates all trends in a company's sales volume over time, indicating whether sales are rising or decreasing. This report may be used by sales managers to choose the best course of action, such as identifying market opportunities and places where sales volume can be enhanced.  Sales reports can also be used to evaluate the Sales department's performance, as well as that of individual Sales team members. 

Salespeople spend just one-third of their day actually talking to prospects. They spend 21% of their day writing emails, 17% entering data, another 17% prospecting and researching leads, 12% going to internal meetings, and 12% scheduling calls.

A sales report is a useful tool for any company or Sales manager who needs a quick and easy way to summarize important data about their Sales process without needing an Excel expert to create one from scratch.

But what if you don't have the time to create Sales reports every week? What if you are looking for a more efficient way of creating Sales reporting documents?
