Learn about Clear iQ’s rapid 5-step approach to understanding your sales performance through sales and revenue analytics.
Benchmarking your sales performance and measuring the results of your decisions requires a disciplined and consistent approach.
We have developed a simple equation for sales and revenue analytics:
Sales and revenue performance is the result of markets plus decisions.
Elements of the Sales Performance Equation
Market
Segmentation of market drivers enables business leaders to understand success versus failure.
Decisions
Decisions are grouped into several subject areas. The decisions can be tested over time to set a baseline and measure results.
Results
Results are evaluated within performance categories and trended over time based on a defined calendar. Benchmarks must be established to baseline and measure the result of strategies and decisions. Understanding and measuring the Price, Volume & Mix (PVM) equation requires a consistent methodology.
Understanding your performance through sales and revenue analytics is a simple equation but requires a disciplined, fact-based approach.
