Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Sales Insights

The primary purpose of CRM Insights (or CRM AnalyticsAnalytics Analytics is the active study of different types of data with the aim of discovering meaningful patterns and translating these into insight (such as historical analyses and forecasts), or action (such as those intended to improve business performance).) is to transform raw sales data into actionable business intelligence< Instead of simply recording activities, it visualizes Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and trends related to your Leads, Opportunities, and Activities. This enables managers and representatives to make data-driven decisions on where to focus their time, which process steps to address, and how to enhance sales performance.

This is a core concept in data-driven sales management:

  • Leading Indicators (such as created activities or Sales Velocity) help you predict future outcomes. These are inputs you can influence now.
  • Lagging Indicators (such as revenue won or Opportunities Lost) reflect past results. These confirm whether your past strategies were successful.

Pipeliner’s Indicators Tab enables managers to track both sides simultaneously, providing a comprehensive view for both forecastingForecasting Forecasting is a prediction or calculation of a trend or event likely to occur in the future based on qualitative, quantitative and historical data as well as emergent but relevant factors. and coaching.

Pipeliner’s Performance Tab is designed explicitly for bottleneck analysis. It provides two key metrics:

  1. Average Velocity by Step: This shows the average number of days deals spend in each stage of your pipeline.
  2. Conversion Rate by Step: This highlights the proportion of Opportunities successfully moving from one step to the next.

By reviewing these, you can instantly see which step is slowing down your deals or causing the most drop-offs, allowing you to address specific process or coaching issues.

Yes, the data is highly reliable because Pipeliner Insights relies on system-level, unchangeable metrics for accuracy:

  • Date Metric: Insights uses the “Actual Close Date” (the date an Opportunity was physically moved into the Won or Lost column), ensuring accuracy, as opposed to the changeable “Close Date.”
  • User Metric: Insights are based on the user who acted (e.g., the rep who moved the Opportunity to Won/Lost), not just the current Opportunity Owner (which may have changed). This provides accurate credit for performance.

Absolutely. The Power Panel in Insights allows for robust customization. You can:

  1. Use the Filter tab to apply criteria based on any field.
  2. Save this unique combination of criteria, KPIs, and date range as a Custom Profile View.
  3. Share your Custom Profile with other managers or team members, ensuring everyone is analyzing performance based on the same parameters.

Insights offer objective, data-driven coaching tools:

  • Benchmarking: The Indicators Tab lets you compare all reps against the same KPIs and benchmarks.
  • Drill-Down: You can click on any specific data point (e.g., a low conversion rate for a rep) to instantly drill down to the underlying list of Leads or Opportunities. This allows you to move directly from a high-level trend to the specific records that require attention.
  • Focus on Inputs: By focusing coaching efforts on Leading Indicators (like Activity Volume) from the Indicators Tab, managers can influence future performance rather than just reacting to past failures.
