Salesman Performance: More Than Just Sales Figures
सेल्समैन का प्रदर्शन: सिर्फ़ सेल नहीं, कलेक्शन और मार्जिन भी
Judge salesmen on sales, collection, gross margin, expenses and their parties' payment days, not on sales alone. A simple monthly scorecard.
The salesman with the biggest sales figure is not always the most valuable one. If his parties pay late, he gives extra discounts and his travel bills are high, he may earn the firm less than a quieter colleague. Look at five figures together.
The monthly scorecard
| Figure | How to work it out | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Sales vs target | Net sales of bills tagged to him | Volume |
| Collection % | Receipts from his parties / his sales | Sales that do not turn into cash are a risk |
| GP % | Gross profit on his bills / his sales | Shows extra discounts and low-rate selling |
| Expense % | Salary, travel, incentives / his sales | Cost of the sales he brings |
| Party payment days | Average payment days of his parties | Quality of the parties he brings in |
Tag every bill
All of this depends on each sales bill carrying the salesman's name. In BUSY use the salesman / broker field (or a fixed optional field) on every sales voucher and make it compulsory for your billing staff. Bills without a salesman cannot be measured.
Using the scorecard fairly
- Compare each salesman with his own last three months, not only with others: areas differ.
- Set targets on collection as well as sales.
- Share the scorecard with the salesman monthly; most improve once they see it.
- Returns and bad debts from his parties should reduce his figures.
Without spreadsheets
The Salesman Performance report in Bharat Cloud Sync shows sales, collection, GP %, expense % and returns for every salesman on one screen, with targets vs achievement. Each salesman can be given his own login that shows only his parties and his outstanding, as you allow.
