Your sales close rate is a number you need to keep a close eye on -- out of all the deals in your pipeline, what percentage do you actually close? Sales close rates let you know how efficient and effective you are as a sales rep. And it's a good way for managers to measure sales rep and sales team performance. The higher the close rate, the better your rep and team are at converting opportunities in the pipeline into revenue.

Ostensibly designed to help sellers close more deals, in many organizations, the CRM is just another administrative task on a salesperson’s already crowded plate. It’s a way for sales managers to monitor deal status that adds little, if any, value to their selling activities. But this approach to CRM is changing. More and more businesses are adopting sales technology tools, such as our analytics solution Scout , that turn their CRM data into actionable insights.

Jess Greenwood, the chief strategy officer at R/GA, once noted that, “data is the new crude oil—it’s only useful when it’s refined.” This couldn’t better describe the way sellers approach data in their CRM. Data within a CRM is just that—it hasn’t been analyzed or prioritized for action. But what if sellers had a tool to help guide them on what actions they should take to move deals further down the funnel?

It's simply not true that sales talent translates into all situations.
