we can get into the steps for writing your own daily sales report, we have to go over the types of reports you may produce. Here\u2019s an overview.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sales_Call_Reports\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Sales Call Reports<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First, there\u2019s the sales call report.<\/p>\n<p>Your sales reps should always make phone calls to leads to convert them into buying customers.<\/p>\n<p>When this happens, you must <a href=\"https:\/\/thecxlead.com\/tools\/best-virtual-call-center-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">track the calls<\/a> made to determine how many calls your reps make, how they\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/marketing-qualified-leads\/\">qualifying leads<\/a> on the call, and how many leads convert to customers based on the calls.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sales_Funnel_Reports\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Sales Funnel Reports<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Where do your leads currently sit in the sales funnel? With a report centered on the funnel, you can gain insights into which leads are readiest to convert based on their progress in the sales funnel.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on a lead\u2019s progress, a sales team can further <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/lead-nurturing\/\">nurture that lead<\/a> or present a product or service just in time to inspire a purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Through a sales funnel report, your company can also gauge where your sales pipeline might need improving. For example, if leads always seem to get stuck in the same place, there might be a bottleneck you need to work on.<\/p>\n<p>This will allow future leads to move unimpeded through your sales funnel.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upsell_and_Cross-Sell_Reports\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Upsell and Cross-Sell Reports<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Next, you could produce an upsell and cross-sell report.<\/p>\n<p>Upselling convinces a customer to supersize their purchase by buying something else, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/cross-sell\/\">cross-selling<\/a> recommends a related product or service to a customer based on their original purchase.<\/p>\n<p>You can use an upsell and cross-sell report to identify these unique <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/sales-opportunities\/\">sales opportunities<\/a> and determine which of your products and services most successfully upsell and cross-sell.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sales_Conversion_Reports\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Sales Conversion Reports<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Every sales rep wants to convert leads to customers, but how often does your sales team achieve this objective? A sales conversion report will paint a clear picture.<\/p>\n<p>These reports do more than tell you which subsets of your audience purchases from your company the most frequently. You can also determine which audience groups aren\u2019t buying and then try to figure out why.<\/p>\n<p>A good sales conversion report should include more than basic information on which leads converted versus which didn\u2019t, but also go into detail on which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/meddic-sales-methodology\/\">sales methods<\/a> your reps used so you can gauge which were the most successful.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opportunity_Score_Reports\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Opportunity Score Reports<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22659\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22659\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/16.-Sales-opportunity.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22659\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/16.-Sales-opportunity.png\" alt=\"Sales opportunity dashboard example from EngageBay\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/16.-Sales-opportunity.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/16.-Sales-opportunity-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/16.-Sales-opportunity-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/16.-Sales-opportunity-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/16.-Sales-opportunity-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/16.-Sales-opportunity-595xh.png 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22659\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Sales opportunity dashboard example from EngageBay<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Also known as sales opportunity reports, an opportunity score report uses a scoring metric of your company\u2019s choosing to quantify your leads.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, you\u2019re assigning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/lead-scoring-model\/\">lead scores<\/a> so your sales reps can gauge which leads are the warmest (and thus likeliest) to convert.

Here are the steps to follow.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_%E2%80%93_Choose_the_type_of_report\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Step 1 \u2013 Choose the type of report<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First, you have to decide which kind of sales report you\u2019ll produce. Does your team need a sales forecast right now or a sales KPI report?<\/p>\n<p>You might choose to write more than one kind of report back-to-back, which is fine too!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_%E2%80%93_Select_the_reporting_frequency\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Step 2 \u2013 Select the reporting frequency<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to confirm how often you\u2019ll report sales. Will you track monthly sales or begin reviewing metrics every week? Perhaps you\u2019ll push your reports out further, such as quarterly or yearly reports.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s up to your company to select the most appropriate reporting frequency. However, keep in mind that no matter how often or infrequently you\u2019ll write sales reports, you need to keep it up.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need a plan for more frequent sales reporting, with a dedicated person or small team to write the reports every week or month.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_%E2%80%93_Choose_your_goal\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Step 3 \u2013 Choose your goal<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although the type of sales report informs your goal, it\u2019s still good to actively pinpoint your goal. You can have multiple goals.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to convert more leads? Bring in more qualified leads? Increase your sales? All the above? Make your goals more concrete before you begin putting together your report.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_%E2%80%93_Narrow_down_a_timeframe\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Step 4 \u2013 Narrow down a timeframe<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No, we don\u2019t mean sales reporting frequency here. Instead, you want to select a timeframe for the data reporting.<\/p>\n<p>How often you produce reports will influence your timeframe. For instance, if you put together reports every week on the dot, you\u2019ll only report for the previous week\u2019s data because everything else is accounted for.<\/p>\n<p>If you only publish sales reports quarterly, you\u2019ll have a larger timeframe of data to select from. Narrow it down to a specific period or periods of interest to prevent the report from becoming too bloated.<\/p>\n<p><em>\ud83d\udc49Empower your sales team with the best lead management practices \u2013 learn more in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/sales-lead-management\/\">expert guide<\/a>! \ud83d\udcaa<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_%E2%80%93_Collect_the_relevant_sales_data\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Step 5 \u2013 Collect the relevant sales data<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now that you know the sales period you\u2019re searching for, you can easily comb through your company\u2019s sales records and cull the relevant data.

Instead, you want to extrapolate and decorate the data.<\/p>\n<p>Visual data like charts, graphs, and tables make it easier to digest your report.

Here are some benefits of frequent reporting.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Identifies_your_top_sales_reps\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Identifies your top sales reps<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you have superstar salespeople, they will rise to the top once you begin putting together sales reports daily or frequently.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing who sells the most among your reps is best, as you might assign them large and important accounts. After all, these sales reps have the greatest chance of closing the deal!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improves_accountability\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Improves accountability<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As much as everyone wants to be the top seller, there\u2019s only room for a few at the top. Sales-oriented reporting makes it impossible for sales reps to hide in the background or blend into the team.<\/p>\n<p>For better or for worse, all your reps will have to become more accountable for their own performances.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Motivates_sales_teams\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Motivates sales teams<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once your daily sales reports begin separating reps by who performs best versus worst, that and the accountability aspect will push your sales team to do better.<\/p>\n<p>The ones who aren\u2019t selling will want to improve, either out of a sense of personal drive or out of fear of losing their jobs. The reps who sell well will want to sell even better once they see how well the top reps are doing.<\/p>\n<p>Those top sales reps will want to continue to perform at their best to hold onto their acclaimed spots!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Betters_the_sales_funnel\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Betters the sales funnel<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now that you\u2019re writing regular or daily sales reports, you understand your sales funnel more innately than ever. You can quickly identify issues with the funnel, like bottlenecks, and strive to improve them.<\/p>\n<p>Each change you make to the sales funnel that allows customers to progress more easily will result in more conversions and sales for your company.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Highlights_the_right_tactics_and_strategies\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Highlights the right tactics and strategies<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Speaking of conversions and sales, you can quickly find the top-selling strategies and tactics through daily sales reporting and focus on those.<\/p>\n<p>If you have members of your sales team who aren\u2019t using these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/what-is-sales\/\">selling strategies<\/a>, they can change tact and improve their own successes and, thus, the company&#8217;s success as a whole.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Makes_more_accurate_forecasts\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Makes more accurate forecasts<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Producing sales reports daily also enables your company to have more accurate sales projections.
