Why do you need a dashboard?


Every sales manager would love to have an at-a-glance view of a set of reports that they use often. One optimal solution to help them 

  • derive insights

  • follow up on the team’s performance 

  • make important, timely decisions with ease about their team, revenue, prospects and a lot more 

is a dashboard.


Even as a sales rep, you can assess your prospects, your progress for the month(win rate) and much more with ease using the dashboard view.


A. What are the out-of-box dashboards available by default?
