Targets without a system are just a wish list. We show how to set ambitious but realistic goals, and how Adveits CRM+ helps you hit them through daily actions.
One of the most common mistakes: targets are set intuitively, or simply copied from last year with 20% added on. That’s not planning — that’s guessing.
The bottom-up goal-setting method
Instead of deciding how much you want to earn, calculate what it actually takes:
- Set your target monthly revenue figure
- Divide by average deal size → this tells you how many deals you need to win
- Divide by win rate → this tells you how many deals you need in the pipeline
- Divide by conversion rate → this tells you how many new contacts you need per month
- That’s your real target — not the revenue number, but the daily activity
How a CRM helps you hit your targets
Goals are only useful when you can see progress in real time. A CRM gives you a daily view: what percentage of the pipeline target has been reached, where the process is stalling, which reps need help.
