Comparing reps

The top reps card ranks your team by what they have won in the period. It is the quickest answer to "who is having a good quarter?".

Read it with the activity

Results alone hide the story. Pair the ranking with the Activity Report and the picture gets useful.

PatternWhat it usually means
High activity, high resultsWorking hard and working well. Find out what they do differently.
Low activity, high resultsEither excellent accounts, or not recording their work.
High activity, low resultsEffort going into the wrong conversations. Coachable.
Low activity, low resultsThe one to talk to first.

The pitfalls

  • Patches are not equal. A rep on established accounts and one opening a new area are not comparable.
  • One large deal reorders everything. Look at a quarter, not a week.
  • Only recorded work counts. A leaderboard rewards recording as much as selling — which is fine, as long as everyone knows that is what it measures.
A LEADERBOARD CHANGES BEHAVIOUR
Publish one and people will optimise for it — closing small deals early, or logging generously. Use it to start conversations, not as a substitute for having them.
