Building Sales Reports in HubSpot

Sales teams thrive when they have access to precise and actionable data. The right sales reports can provide insights into every stage of the sales process, from lead generation to closing deals. Here are the key sales reports you need for maximising your team's performance:

A. Pipeline and Activity Metrics

  1. Pipeline Generation by Rep and Segment

    This sales report tracks pipeline creation by individual sales reps and market segments. By identifying who is generating the most opportunities and in which segments, you can tailor your training and support efforts to boost overall performance. Additionally, tracking leads with high intent (e.g., web visits) but no set task/meeting ensures that potential opportunities are not slipping through the cracks, enabling more efficient pipeline generation.

  2. Activity by Rep
    activity by rep
    Monitoring the activities performed by each sales representative, such as calls, emails, and meetings, helps you understand their productivity levels. This report can highlight areas where additional coaching might be needed to enhance efficiency. To further enhance this, tracking SQLs with no logged action ensures that qualified leads are consistently engaged and moved through the pipeline.

  3. Meetings Booked by Rep

    Tracking the number of meetings scheduled by each sales rep provides insight into their engagement levels with prospects. High numbers of booked meetings often indicate a proactive approach to nurturing leads. Furthermore, deals with no set meetings in the future can be identified to mitigate risks in the sales pipeline and ensure continuous engagement with prospects.

  4. Call Outcome by Rep

    Evaluating the outcomes of calls made by sales reps allows you to identify patterns in successful and unsuccessful interactions. This sales report can help you refine your call strategies and training programs. Additionally, deals at later stages with undercooked qualification can be surfaced to address potential risks early and improve the chances of closing deals.
