Get Out of Spreadsheets and Present Engaging Data
Data should be both informative and engaging in order to properly convey your performance
metrics and the message you’re working to get across. Visually communicating data is a skill
that sales leaders should hone and it can be made easier with Ambition Sales Report Templates.
Present executive level aggregation of data through leaderboards, charts, and graphs. Run your
sales meeting with up-to-date progress of performance alongside individual recognition. Power
performance through visibility that both motivates and informs the organization and allows for
managers to quickly adapt and make changes.

Ambition’s Sales Report Template library is our newest addition to our complete sales template gallery.
We will be adding report templates from real sales managers and leaders to help you get a feel for the most
up-to-date sales reports sales professionals are using in today’s selling climate.
You might set up your templates to run reports daily, weekly, or monthly, depending on the level of visibility
you need and the frequency you’d like to see data. Each cadence has different benefits, and some teams find it
helpful to run all three types of reports to get deeper insights into how progress is going.
Daily Sales Report Template
You might utilize a daily sales report template to review day-to-day numbers in daily standup meetings or quick retrospectives.
You can utilize this type of sales report template to help you further coach your reps toward success. This can help managers
and leadership to get insights into daily sales activity and progress toward larger goals.
Weekly Sales Report Template
A weekly sales report template is great for coaching, ensuring the team hits weekly targets, and checking how things are progressing
toward broader goals. These template types are great for weekly team check ins, weekly coaching sessions, or retrospective meetings.
Monthly Sales Report Template
Running a monthly sales report template allows you to view end-of-month numbers or monthly retrospectives on how the team is performing.
This is great to get a broad view of how things are progressing toward quarterly goals in particular, and you can also compare your numbers
month over month to identify what’s working and where you might need to step in with coaching.
How to create your own sales report template
Sales report templates help create accountability, transparency, and motivation throughout your organization.
The more real-time the reports can be the better. To create a sales report or scoreboard in Ambition, you sync
your data sources like CRM, dialer, cadence tool and more to keep the scoreboards and reports up to date in real time.
If you are creating one manually, updating every 24 hours may be the best solution.
Create your sales report template to show data at the micro and macro levels. Showcase org performance, team performance,
and individual rep performance. Highlighting rep performance is where a lot of organizations “miss.” By highlighting individuals,
they are motivated and accountable to their performance. Highlight activities, objectives, and end goals on your report template
for a full picture of performance attribution.
In the sales process, different teams are often responsible for different target
numbers that contribute to the larger, overall goal. By highlighting all of the teams and full funnel numbers, executives can get a
better understanding of total performance. Google slides is a great free tool to create your own sales report template, but you should
download one of our templates to help you get started with ideas, examples, and inspiration!
