1 Activity metrics

Activity metrics are the basic measures of how much work you are putting into your sales development efforts. They include the number of calls, emails, social media messages, and other outreach attempts you make to your target accounts and contacts. Activity metrics help you track your productivity, efficiency, and consistency in reaching out to your prospects. They also help you identify any gaps or bottlenecks in your sales development workflow, such as low response rates, poor data quality, or insufficient follow-ups.

2 Conversion metrics

Conversion metrics are the measures of how well you are moving your prospects through the sales development funnel. They include the percentage of contacts who respond to your outreach, the percentage of responses that lead to a discovery call or meeting, and the percentage of meetings that result in a qualified opportunity or a sales handoff. Conversion metrics help you evaluate your effectiveness, relevance, and value proposition in engaging and qualifying your prospects. They also help you benchmark your performance against your industry standards, best practices, and goals.

Quality metrics to hand in hand with a qualification criteria or framework. There are many qualification frameworks, starting with BANT, MEDDIC, ANUM, CHAMP and more. You can personalize yours, but in short, the more complete the qualification criteria, the better the quality of that lead. Some companies map this into their Lead Scoring system (often times a feature within the CRM) to combine qualification criteria information with buyer behavior such as opening emails, clicking on your links and more, to come up with a Lead Score that is another indicator for a lead's quality

Don't confuse feedback metrics by the number of comments a salesperson got from their peers. Feedback metrics can have two main aspects about them: #1 The areas or dimensions to measure (negotiation skills, tonality, follow-up and persistence, etc.) #2 (and arguably the most important one) How fast you work on the feedback received Pay attention to #2 because it indicates how coachable a person is.

1. Clear KPIs. 2. You can not improve what you can not accurately messure. Feedback is a gift we all should be eager to receive. Feedback allows you to improve in many levels, there can be no improvement without feedback as is it essential for learning and growth.
