Scorecards are a tool to help managers and sales reps improve on all areas of a sales call. By using scorecards teams can dramatically improve their performance and increase sales growth.
What it is:
Scorecards help sales managers and sales reps evaluate and discuss specific sales calls. This organized approach ensures everyone uses the same criteria, creates valuable data points for coaching, and improves overall sales techniques.
How it works:
Scorecards have sections for different parts of a sales call, like rapport building or objection handling. Each section is scored (1-5) with clear explanations to explain the valuation.
