Track your sales progress and convert your non-winnable deals to wins
AI-powered sales trackingA recent study by Harvard Business Review showed that
“50% of high-performing sales organizations admit having “closely monitored, strictly enforced or automated” sales processes. Meanwhile, 48% of under-performing organizations have non-existent or informal sales processes.”
How do you know your sales team is on the right track?
Or is your sales strategy driven by data?
If not!
It is time you start tracking your sales and hit the secret of not losing every winnable deal. Before we begin with the what and why of sales tracking. Let me draw a parallel to Money Heist and help you understand why your business demands sales tracking for growth.
Remember the first impossible heist that the Professor was able to execute successfully?
The heist was only successful because the Professor firstly prepared all contingency plans and tracked not just his team's actions but also the outer world. By tracking everyone’s move, he was able to help each and every teammate of his to perform the heist with success.
Wouldn’t you agree?
Your sales team also requires a Professor to help them complete their heist, i.e., winning every deal. But if you don’t know what help and when they need it. How can you help your team like Professor?
To further understand why your sales team requires sales tracking. Let us first understand what exactly sales tracking is.
Sales tracking is the process of documenting and monitoring all sales interactions from the first reach out to the last deal closer call. It contains contact details, the first point of contact, their sales funnel progress, and ultimately the conversion factor.
The primary purpose of tracking sales is to measure the conversion rate with the current sales process and find areas of improvement.
Montgomery Family law is a North Carolina-based firm specializing in family law and divorce. One of the firm’s major problems was that it could not keep track of all the incoming leads and understand their origin. This made it impossible for them to provide cohesive advice based on their origin state.
By enabling sales tracking and call tracking, Montgomery firms could track all the leads origin and provide the right advice at the right time. It helped them increase their lead conversion rate by 40%.
Amazing right?

When all the above tasks can be easily automated with the help of an AI-powered sales tracker. Thus, leaving the sellers to focus on more important tasks like prospecting and reaching out to customers.
When the sales representatives are aware that their daily calls are being monitored, it creates a sense of accountability for every deal on the table. They are aware that starting from their script to their soft skills are being analyzed by the sales tracker, and this sense of awareness boosts them always to put their best foot forward.
The sales tracker provides a granular view of every deal. So that sales managers can allocate their seller’s time on important deals or provide them with resources and physical resources when and where required.

1. Setting Upright KPIs and Analytics for tracking sales progress

2. Share the Sales Tracking Plan with the Team
After you have collected all the data and listed the KPIs, it is time to share this data with your team and ask for their feedback. Share the plan not just with your sales team but also with your customer success team, marketing, and even developers. With the knowledge of the product, customers, and marketing teams, the sales tracking analytics KPI can be set to support the company’s growth goals.
3. Make Improvements
Just setting up sales tracking KPI is not enough. The tracking analytics have to be reviewed and modified periodically to keep up with changing short-term business goals. For example, if you notice the CDS or NPS scores are going down, analytics to track this must be implemented.
