1 Define your goals

Before you start tracking anything, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve. What are your sales targets, KPIs, and milestones? How do they align with your overall business objectives and budget? You can use the SMART framework (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) to set realistic and meaningful goals for your sales performance.

The Right Frame Work: Few things to keep in mind while using the SMART framework is good for b2c space but can be a short term and bit rigid in the B2b space Few other alternative 1) GPCTBA & CI - not rigid as in understanding needs 2) MEDDIC - in case of long sales cycle. 3) BANT - for that Purple Cow ( ideal client)

2 Choose your metrics

Once you have your goals, you need to decide how you will measure them. What are the key indicators of success for your sales performance? How will you track them over time and across different channels? You can use a variety of metrics, such as revenue, conversion rate, customer retention, average deal size, sales cycle length, and more. However, you should focus on the ones that are most relevant to your goals and budget, and avoid vanity metrics that don't reflect your actual performance.

3 Use a simple system

You don't need to invest in expensive or complex software to track your sales performance. You can use a simple system that suits your budget and needs, such as a spreadsheet, a CRM tool, or a dashboard. The key is to use a system that is easy to update, access, and analyze, and that provides you with accurate and timely data. You should also make sure that your system is consistent and standardized across your sales team, so that everyone is on the same page and can compare results.

For an operation that's just starting, having a CRM is indeed important, but don't focus on large solutions. Simple CRMs can help because the biggest challenge is centralizing and organizing demand management. Automations are important, but you'll realize over time where they fit. Depending on the context, tools like CLICKUP or NOTION have CRM templates that can assist in initial management and are completely free, even. It's worth testing before immediately hiring a system for this purpose.

4 Review and adjust

Tracking sales performance is not a one-time activity. You need to review and adjust your strategy regularly, based on your data and feedback. How are you performing against your goals and budget? What are the strengths and weaknesses of your sales process? What are the opportunities and threats in your market? You should use your data to identify patterns, trends, and insights that can help you improve your sales performance and optimize your budget.

Around here, we use the Growth strategy a lot in the company, which provides visibility of performance in all areas of the company. Speaking of sales, we created a dashboard in Google's LOOKER that helps us visualize the entire commercial team's performance, where we monitor data daily and define the action plan based on the challenges we find and that may somehow impact our goals.

5 Communicate and collaborate

Tracking sales performance is not only about numbers. It is also about people. You need to communicate and collaborate with your sales team and other stakeholders, such as managers, marketing, finance, and customers. You should share your goals, metrics, and results with them, and solicit their input and feedback. You should also celebrate your achievements and recognize your efforts. By creating a culture of transparency and accountability, you can boost your sales performance and morale.

Tracking sales performance with a budget can be done effectively and efficiently, if you follow these best practices. By defining your goals, choosing your metrics, using a simple system, reviewing and adjusting your strategy, and communicating and collaborating with your team, you can achieve your sales objectives and maximize your ROI.

Incentivize performance: Implement a performance-based incentive structure to motivate your sales team and reward top performers. Align incentives with your budget constraints by offering bonuses, commissions, or other rewards based on sales targets and performance metrics.

It's important to create a culture of transparency with the team, maintain clear and assertive communication daily, and also establish routines that foster integration and connection with the team. Here, I like to keep daily follow-ups, pipe reviews, roleplay & coaching for training, a weekly meeting with the entire company, and whenever possible, bring in someone relevant from the market so the team can benchmark and learn beyond what we're doing.
