How to Make A Monthly Sales Report That Your Boss Will Love

Tank New Media Tank New Media
Marketing

Reporting for your marketing and sales processes is essential.

It’s not only working for us as a marketing agency, but it’s doing wonders for our clients. While we could go on and on about all of HubSpot’s features and how they’ve contributed to sales and marketing growth, this post focuses on one aspect alone — the sales and marketing dashboard.

Last week we addressed how to assemble a monthly Marketing Report. We spelled out what to include and how it can look. These reports are for those interested in marketing tactics and performance details.

Now the Monthly Sales Report

This week we’re looking at how to create a monthly Marketing & Sales KPI Report. It’s not granular like the Marketing Report; rather it’s top level. It’s intended for those who care about the big picture and includes all marketing venues and sales KPIs (Key Performance Indicators — measured to track progress toward specific business goals), ROI (Return on Investment) stats, business metrics, and financial goals.

Below is what our customized HubSpot CRM dashboard includes. It is, in essence, the perfect Marketing & Sales KPI Report. It’s everything a GM or owner wants to know.

NOTE: Don’t get caught up in the numbers below; these are formatting examples only.
