Not all metrics matter equally. We show you which reports are genuinely worth checking every week — and why most companies are watching the wrong ones.
Many managers make the mistake of tracking too many indicators. When you measure everything, you’re really measuring nothing. What matters most is picking the 4–6 KPIs that best reflect the health of your business.
Essential weekly metrics
- New deals created — is the team actively generating new pipeline?
- Win rate — what percentage of deals close successfully?
- Average deal size — are you moving toward bigger clients or smaller ones?
- Sales cycle length — how many days from first contact to close?
- Pipeline value — the total value of all active deals
Reports most companies don’t track (but should)
Deals by source — knowing where your best clients come from lets you invest in the right channels. Many companies split their budget evenly across all channels, even though 80% of revenue comes from 20% of sources.
Lost-opportunity analysis — every failed deal has a reason. If you systematically collect this data, you’ll quickly spot recurring patterns and be able to eliminate them.
