How to Set Key Performance Indicator (KPIs) to Optimize Sales Performance

Key performance indicator or KPI is a very familiar concept to the sales force. A successful salesperson is the one that is capable of controlling and well completing his or her KPIs, but to do that, it largely depends on the strategy at management level. When the management adopts the strategy to set reasonable sales targets, it will help optimize employees’ performance; on the contrary, excessively high KPIs will make employees give up easily, but excessively low KPIs will not optimize their performance.

KPIs should be set up by week, month, or year, and the managers must know how to balance between actual performance of the company and employees and ensure that those KPIs are achievable and measurable. The difficulties faced by Enterprises are how to effectively set up and manage appropriate KPIs for each employee, and employees’ KPIs must be regularly updated so that employees may improve their sales skills to achieve such KPIs. Therefore, many Enterprises are currently applying software technology solutions to the setup and management of KPIs.
