For B2B sales organizations, particularly those navigating the complexities of in a midmarket sales cycle (between 4 and 6 months), leveraging effective Salesforce dashboards is paramount to driving performance and achieving strategic goals.

Well-designed dashboards for Salesforce transform raw data into actionable insights, empowering sales managers and individual representatives alike.

This article outlines a comprehensive suite of six distinct Salesforce dashboard concepts, each meticulously crafted to address critical aspects of the sales cycle – from high-level management overviews and in-depth pipeline forecasting to granular activity tracking, campaign performance analysis, focused 1:1 coaching, and essential CRM hygiene. By implementing these tailored dashboards Salesforce can become a powerful engine for visibility, accountability, and ultimately, sales success.

Each dashboard proposal includes specific filters and up to ten suggested components, complete with explanations of their relevance, providing a practical blueprint for sales teams looking to optimize their Salesforce instance and gain a competitive edge. These dashboards are designed not just to report numbers, but to guide strategic decisions and foster a data-driven sales culture.

Overview of dashboards

Salesforce Dashboard 1: Sales Management General overview

Dashboard Filters: Region, Team, Person, Duration (year, quarter)

Dashboard components proposal:

Component 1: Chart – Quota Attainment (Gauge or Bar Chart)

  • Shows: Actual Closed Won Revenue vs. Sales Quota for the selected individual or team over the chosen duration. A gauge provides a quick visual of percentage to goal, while a bar chart can show actual vs. target amounts side-by-side.
  • Relevance: Provides an immediate understanding of performance against key sales targets, a fundamental metric for sales management. This aligns with the focus on consistent rep performance and increasing revenue mentioned in the State of Sales Enablement Report 2022.

Component 2: Chart – Open Pipeline by Stage (Funnel or Horizontal Bar Chart)

  • Shows: The sum of Amount and/or Count of all Open Opportunities, grouped by their current Sales Stage (e.g., Prospecting, Qualification, Needs Analysis, Proposal, Negotiation, Closed Won/Lost).
  • Relevance: Offers a visual representation of the current sales pipeline’s health, distribution, and potential bottlenecks. Essential for forecasting and identifying where deals are stalling.

Component 3: Metric – Total Won Revenue (KPI Display)

  • Shows: A single, prominent number displaying the total sum of ‘Amount’ for all Opportunities Closed Won within the selected duration.
  • Relevance: Gives a clear, at-a-glance view of total sales achieved, crucial for tracking overall success.

Component 4: Chart – Win Rate % (Line Chart over Time or KPI)

  • Shows: Calculated as (Number of Won Opportunities / (Number of Won Opportunities + Number of Lost Opportunities)) * 100 for the selected duration. A line chart can show trends if the duration allows (e.g., monthly over a quarter/year).
  • Relevance: Measures sales effectiveness and conversion efficiency. Improving win rates is a common goal, as highlighted in sales performance literature.

Component 5: Table – Top 5-10 Open Opportunities (by Amount)

  • Shows: A list of the largest open opportunities, including Opportunity Name, Account Name, Amount, Expected Close Date, Stage, and Next Step.
  • Relevance: Helps sales managers and reps focus on high-value deals that can significantly impact targets.

Component 6: Metric – Average Sales Cycle Length (KPI Display)

  • Shows: The average number of days taken from Opportunity Creation Date to Close Date for Closed Won opportunities within the selected duration.
  • Relevance: Indicates sales velocity and efficiency. Understanding this helps in refining sales processes and forecasting accuracy.

Component 7: Chart – Sales Activities Completed (Bar Chart by Type/Rep)

  • Shows: A count of key sales activities (e.g., Calls Logged, Meetings Held, Demos Conducted, Proposals Sent) completed within the selected duration. Can be grouped by activity type or by sales rep if the “Team” filter is active.
  • Relevance: Tracks the effort and engagement levels of the sales team/person, which are leading indicators of future sales results. Technology’s role in tracking customer interactions is vital.

Component 8: Chart – Forecast vs. Quota (Stacked Bar or Combination Chart)

  • Shows: A comparison of the Sales Quota against Closed Won revenue and Forecasted Revenue (e.g., sum of Expected Revenue from opportunities in Commit & Best Case forecast categories) for the selected period.
  • Relevance: Provides a forward-looking view of how the team/individual is tracking towards their quota, considering both achieved sales and pipeline potential. Sales forecasting is a key area where technology like AI/ML is impactful.

Component 9: Table – Opportunities with No Recent Activity / Stalled Deals

  • Shows: A list of open opportunities that haven’t had any logged activity (e.g., call, email, meeting) or stage change in a defined period (e.g., last 14 or 30 days).
  • Relevance: Highlights at-risk deals that may require immediate attention or intervention to get them moving forward, crucial for maintaining pipeline momentum.

Component 10: Chart – New Logos vs. Existing Client Revenue (Pie Chart or Stacked Bar)

  • Shows: A breakdown of Closed Won revenue, distinguishing between deals from brand new clients (New Logos) versus deals from existing clients (upsells, cross-sells, renewals).
  • Relevance: For B2B sales, understanding the source of revenue (acquisition vs. expansion) is key for strategic planning and resource allocation. This aligns with customer retention and experience goals.

Salesforce Dashboard 2: Sales Forecasting and pipeline structure

Dashboard Filters: Region, Team, Person, Duration (current quarter, next quarter, custom range), Forecast Category (Commit, Best Case, Pipeline, Omitted)

Here is the suggested list of components:

Component 1: Chart – Forecast by Category vs. Quota (Stacked Bar Chart)

  • Shows: For the selected duration, a stacked bar showing the sum of ‘Amount’ for Opportunities in each Forecast Category (Commit, Best Case, Pipeline) compared against the Sales Quota.
  • Relevance: Provides a clear visual of how the current forecast (broken down by confidence level) stacks up against the target. This is fundamental for understanding if the team/person is on track. The emergence of AI and Machine Learning in sales forecasting, as mentioned in the provided text, makes accurate categorization even more critical.

Component 2: Table – Detailed Forecast Breakdown (by Opportunity)

  • Shows: A list of all open opportunities contributing to the forecast for the selected duration, including Opportunity Name, Account Name, Amount, Expected Close Date, Stage, Forecast Category, Next Step, and Last Activity Date. Can be grouped by Forecast Category.
  • Relevance: Allows managers to drill down into the specific deals making up the forecast, facilitating forecast reviews and deal coaching.

Component 3: Chart – Pipeline Coverage Ratio (KPI or Gauge)

  • Shows: Calculated as (Total Open Pipeline Amount for the period / (Quota – Closed Won Amount for the period)). For example, if Quota is €100k, €20k is Closed Won, and Open Pipeline is €240k, the coverage is €240k / €80k = 3x.
  • Relevance: Indicates if there’s enough pipeline to realistically achieve the remaining quota. A common rule of thumb is 3x to 5x coverage, depending on win rates.

Component 4: Chart – Weighted Pipeline by Stage (Funnel or Bar Chart)

  • Shows: The sum of ‘Amount’ for open opportunities in each sales stage, multiplied by the probability associated with that stage (e.g., Qualification 25%, Proposal 50%, Negotiation 75%).

Component 8: Chart – Pipeline by Product/Service Type (Pie or Bar Chart)

  • Shows: A breakdown of the open pipeline ‘Amount’ by the different types of products being sold.
  • Relevance: For an organization selling multiple benefit types to HR, this shows where the pipeline strength lies and if there are opportunities to diversify or focus efforts on specific offerings.

Component 9: Metric – Average Deal Size in Pipeline (KPI Display)

  • Shows: The average ‘Amount’ of all open opportunities in the pipeline for the selected duration.
  • Relevance: Helps understand the typical deal value and can be compared to historical averages or average deal size of closed-won deals to see if pipeline quality is changing.

Component 10: Chart – Forecast Accuracy (Historical) (Line or Bar Chart)

  • Shows: A comparison of what was forecasted (e.g., ‘Commit’ amount) at a specific point in a previous period (e.g., start of last quarter) versus what was actually Closed Won in that period. This requires snapshotting or historical forecast data.
  • Relevance: Measures the reliability of past forecasts, which can inform confidence in current forecasts and identify areas for improvement in the forecasting process. AI and machine learning can significantly enhance this, as noted in your memory.

Important remarks when considering the implementation of “Wall of Shame” Dashboard:

  • Focus on Actionability: Ensure each component clearly shows what needs to be fixed and by whom.
  • Positive Reinforcement: Consider pairing this with a “Wall of Fame” or recognition for good CRM hygiene to balance the message.
  • Training & Support: Use the insights from this dashboard to identify areas where reps need more training or support on CRM processes. The goal is improvement, not just pointing out flaws.
  • Gamification (Optional): Some teams use scores or leaderboards (for good hygiene) to make it more engaging.
  • Clear Definitions: Ensure everyone understands what constitutes “good” vs. “bad” data for each metric.
