Sales metrics analysis is the process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data about sales performance. It can be used to track progress over time, identify areas for improvement, and make better sales decisions.

Basic sales metrics

There are a number of basic sales metrics that businesses commonly track, such as:

  • Total revenue: The total amount of money generated from sales.
  • Number of new customers: The number of new customers acquired during a given period of time.
  • Number of lost customers: The number of customers who stopped doing business with the company during a given period of time.
  • Average customer lifetime value (CLV): The average amount of money that a customer spends with the company over their lifetime.
  • Customer churn rate: The percentage of customers who stop doing business with the company during a given period of time.
  • Sales cycle length: The average amount of time it takes to close a sale.
  • Win rate: The percentage of sales opportunities that are converted into closed deals.

Advanced sales metrics analysis

In addition to basic sales metrics, there are a number of advanced sales metrics and analysis techniques that businesses can use to gain deeper insights into their sales performance. Some examples include:

  • Sales forecasting: Using historical sales data and other factors to predict future sales.
  • Lead scoring: Ranking leads based on their likelihood of converting into customers.
  • Pipeline analysis: Analyzing the sales pipeline to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement.
  • Sales territory analysis: Analyzing sales data by region or territory to identify areas where performance is strong or weak.
  • Customer segmentation: Segmenting customers into different groups based on their demographics, needs, or behavior. This can be used to target marketing and sales efforts more effectively.
  • Sales attribution: Determining which marketing channels and sales activities are driving the most revenue.

Sales metrics analysis formulas

There are a number of formulas that can be used to calculate sales metrics. Some common examples include:

  • Average revenue per customer (ARPC): Total revenue / number of customers
  • Customer acquisition cost (CAC): Total marketing and sales costs / number of new customers acquired
  • Customer lifetime value (CLV): Average revenue per customer * average customer lifespan
  • Customer churn rate: Number of lost customers / number of customers at the beginning of the period
  • Sales cycle length: Time from initial contact to sale / number of sales closed
  • Win rate: Number of closed deals / number of sales opportunities

Advanced sales metrics analysis formulas

There are also a number of more complex formulas that can be used for advanced sales metrics analysis. Some examples include:

  • Sales forecast: This can be calculated using a variety of methods, such as time series analysis, causal forecasting, or machine learning.
  • Lead score: This is typically calculated using a weighted average of different factors, such as lead source, engagement level, and demographic information.
  • Pipeline velocity: This is calculated by dividing the total value of the sales pipeline by the sales cycle length.
  • Sales territory index: This is calculated by dividing the actual sales in a territory by the expected sales based on factors such as population and income.
  • Customer segmentation: This can be done using a variety of methods, such as k-means clustering, RFM segmentation, or demographic segmentation.
  • Sales attribution: This can be done using a variety of methods, such as multi-touch attribution or last-touch attribution.

Using sales metrics analysis to improve sales performance

Sales metrics analysis can be used to improve sales performance in a number of ways. For example, businesses can use sales data to:

  • Identify areas where sales performance is strong or weak.
  • Set realistic sales goals.
  • Develop targeted sales strategies.
  • Track progress over time and identify trends.
  • Make better decisions about allocating resources.

Conclusion

Sales metrics analysis is a powerful tool that can be used to improve sales performance in a number of ways. By tracking and analyzing key sales metrics, businesses can gain valuable insights into their sales process and identify areas for improvement.

What is RevOps? A Guide for Small and Mid-Sized Business Owners Ready to Grow with Clarity

If you’re running a growing business, you’re likely juggling sales, marketing, customer service, and operations—all while trying to scale revenue. You’ve probably heard the term RevOps (Revenue Operations). But what is it really, and how does it apply to businesses like yours? Here’s the truth: RevOps isn’t a buzzword. It’s the missing system most SMBs need to scale. What is RevOps? RevOps aligns your sales, marketing, and customer success teams under one unified strategy to drive predictable, repeatable growth. It eliminates silos, streamlines your tech stack, and turns data into action. But here’s the problem: traditional CRMs and static reporting tools can only tell you what happened—not what to do next. That’s where Inselligence comes in. Inselligence is the RevOps Navigation Platform™ built to help growth-minded SMBs get clarity, take action, and scale revenue. It connects to your CRM, reveals what’s working, what’s broken, and what to do next at every stage of your pipeline. And if what’s broken isn’t just visibility—but structure—we also offer Growth Advisory Services to help you build a scalable go-to-market engine from the ground up. Why RevOps Matters for SMBs (And Why It Often Fails Without a Map) Most SMBs have decent tools. But those tools don’t talk. Teams work hard, but they’re misaligned. Forecasts change weekly. Leaders fly blind. RevOps is the fix—but only if it’s done right. Here’s how Inselligence makes that possible: 1. Clarity That Cuts Through Chaos RevOps aligns your teams around one mission—revenue growth—and gives you a clear picture of every stage of your funnel. No more guessing. No more finger-pointing. 2.

A Better Customer Journey When sales, marketing, and support are aligned, your buyers notice. RevOps ensures your handoffs are smooth, your messaging is consistent, and your customers stick around. 4. Predictable Growth, Backed by Data RevOps is about more than reporting. It’s about real-time visibility and knowing what action to take to hit your number. Inselligence gives you that roadmap—with no analyst required. How to Get Started (Without Building an Entire RevOps Department) You don’t need a huge team or budget. You just need the right guidance—and the right tools. That’s exactly what Inselligence delivers. Step 1: Connect the Dots Our platform plugs into your existing CRM and surfaces where your revenue engine is leaking—so you can patch it fast. Step 2: Fix What’s Broken Whether it’s lead flow, forecasting, or pipeline structure—we show you what to fix and how. Need more help? Our Growth Advisors will build the entire process for you. Step 3: Make Growth Repeatable Once the engine is running, our dynamic reporting keeps you on track every quarter—so you can stop reacting and start steering. Bottom Line RevOps isn’t just for big companies. It’s how smart SMBs scale—efficiently and predictably. With Inselligence, you get the software to navigate revenue growth and the team to help you build the engine. No fluff. No spreadsheets. Just a clear path to hitting your number.

Why a One-Size-Fits-All Sales Strategy Fails—And How Inselligence Tailors Insights to Your Pipeline

In today’s competitive sales environment, relying on gut instinct or generalized playbooks just doesn’t cut it. Sales teams are often told to “add more pipeline” to hit their numbers—as if deal load or volume alone can solve the problem. But more deals do not help if you don’t know where in your sales process things are slowing down or falling apart. That’s where Inselligence changes the game. Unlike traditional revenue intelligence tools that focus on outcomes, Inselligence dives deep into your unique sales process, surfacing exactly where and why deals are stalling—in real time. We create a navigational path to sustainable revenue. Stop Guessing. Start Diagnosing. Most platforms stop at showing you win rates or forecast coverage. Inselligence goes further, using your CRM data to perform a full diagnostic on your pipeline. Inselligence uses the “anatomy of a won deal” foundational model in combination with patent-pending algorithms to benchmark your current performance against what actually works in your own sales history. It’s not about best practices in theory—it’s about the ones that have already worked for your team. And the best part? You don’t need to wait for implementation or dashboards to be built. Inselligence can analyze your CRM data in 30 seconds during a live demo. That means actionable insight before the conversation even ends. Insights That Are Built Around You Inselligence’s biggest differentiator is that it doesn’t just analyze revenue outcomes—it analyzes the path to revenue. It helps you understand: Using any property or object in your CRM, Inselligence can segment your pipeline however you need—by rep, region, industry, deal size, or even custom fields. This kind of granular, customizable view reveals the true levers behind your growth, instead of relying on static, one-size-fits-all metrics. Real Results from Real Data For example, a commercial real estate developer in Chicago used Inselligence to audit and reshape its sales process. The result? Over $55 million in new revenue and 100% occupancy in just eight months. The insight didn’t come from more data—it came from the right data, structured around their process. The Future of Sales is Personalized Generic sales strategies lead to generic results. If you want your sales team to outperform, you need to understand what’s actually happening in your pipeline—not what should be happening. Inselligence offers a smarter way forward: one that’s fast, data-backed, and entirely personalized to your workflow. Try Inselligence for free and see for yourself—your CRM has the answers. Inselligence just helps you ask the right questions.

Inselligence Joins Endeavor Miami’s EndeavorLAB Spring Cohort: A Proud Milestone in High-Impact Entrepreneurship

In a thrilling leap forward, Inselligence has been selected to join Endeavor Miami’s prestigious EndeavorLAB Spring Cohort—an honor that marks a pivotal moment for our team and mission. This opportunity places us among Miami’s most promising early-stage startups, each poised to scale smarter and drive transformative change. For Inselligence, being part of this cohort isn’t just a milestone—it’s a testament to our commitment to innovation, growth, and creating lasting impact. A Cohort of Visionaries Endeavor Miami’s EndeavorLAB Spring Cohort brings together a dynamic group of high-growth companies, and we’re proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow founders who are redefining their industries. Alongside Inselligence, the cohort includes game-changers like 1PLTFRM, Benchlab, BI360, Coally, finvix, H+Trace, Infinite Creator, PredictiveIQ, and Tukki. Each of these startups brings bold ideas and unique perspectives, and we’re eager to collaborate, learn, and grow together over the coming months. Explore the full lineup of these trailblazing companies.  “Their unique perspectives and forward-thinking solutions are creating tangible impact in their industries and communities. At Endeavor, we are proud to support their visions and amplify their potential to make a difference locally and globally,” said Claudia Duran, Regional Managing Director for North America and of Endeavor Miami, in the announcement.  As Refresh Miami noted, “This cohort isn’t just about individual success—it’s about collective momentum. Supported by powerhouse organizations like JPMorganChase and Tech Equity Miami, the program fosters an ecosystem where innovation thrives. The 10 South Florida-based startups in this cohort represent a rich tapestry of industries and business models, led by 12 co-founders hailing from countries like Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico.”  “Their unique perspectives and forward-thinking solutions are creating tangible impact in their industries and communities. At Endeavor, we are proud to support their visions and amplify their potential to make a difference locally and globally,” said Claudia Duran, Regional Managing Director for North America and of Endeavor Miami, in the announcement.  Endeavor: A Global Force for High-Impact Entrepreneurship For those unfamiliar, Endeavor is the leading global community “of, by, and for High-Impact Entrepreneurs”—a network dedicated to empowering founders who dream bigger, scale faster, and pay it forward. Since launching its first U.S. affiliate office in Miami in 2013, Endeavor Miami has become a cornerstone of the region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. The numbers speak for themselves: in 2023 alone, Miami’s Endeavor Entrepreneurs generated over $900 million in revenues and employed more than 6,000 individuals across 35 companies led by 60 visionary leaders. Endeavor’s mission is rooted in the Multiplier Effect: inspiring founders to aim high, equipping them with the tools to scale, and creating a platform for them to give back. It’s a virtuous cycle that amplifies individual impact into collective transformation. Through initiatives like Endeavor Catalyst—a co-investment fund supporting the same entrepreneurs Endeavor nurtures—the organization has become one of the world’s top early-stage funders of startups that evolve into billion-dollar “Unicorns” outside the U.S. and China. For Inselligence, “being part of this legacy is both humbling and exhilarating!”
