What are sales goals?
Sales goals are a part of a larger strategy to improve a business’s sales results over a specific time period. With proper sales goals, everyone on the sales team (whether you’re a solopreneur looking to make more sales, or have dozens of salespeople) will be able to focus on the same objectives and execute on them without losing sight of the overall vision.
How do you create sales goals?
Typically, sales goals include:
- Revenue targets
- Sales performance goals
- Attached strategies to achieve each eales goal
- Any necessary financial, tech or human resources needed to achieve the goals
- Activities and milestones necessary to achieve the sales goals
The Sales goal planning process
Planning your sales goals out can seem daunting at first, but taking it one step at a time will reduce any overwhelm. Here’s how (also, see the sales goal template for a plug-and-play version of this):
1. Scope / Summary
Provide a summary of what’s inside the sales goal plan and help visualize the value of following this plan.
2. Goals / Outcomes / Revenue Targets
Define the specific sales revenue targets you’re looking to hit, as well as overall business goals attached to them. In our template, we also touch on the current outcome so that we can measure the projected increase and success metrics we’ll need to achieve to hit the new outcome.
3. Previous Performance Review
Once you’ve defined the goals and revenue targets your sales goals will achieve, it’s important to recap the previous period’s performance. Note any mistakes, missed opportunities, or wins that you want to carry through to the new time period. This review process will optimize your new sales plan with better data. It’s recommended to use a “start, stop, keep” framework when analyzing your sales team’s past performance.
In this template, you’ll also find sections to analyze:
- Market conditions
- Industry conditions
- Strategies > Tactics for both new customer growth and existing business growth
- Customer segments
- ACtion plan
- Sales tools
- Sales goal milestones
- 30-60-90 day sales plans
- Customer testimonials
- Awards and recognition
- And more!
