MAIN INSIGHT

If you're not measuring data ahead of time, you can't report on it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1.  Look at the closed-won opportunities you have over the most recent quarters. Determine how long it took to close the deal, what actions you took, and where it came from. Use that to figure out what metrics to capture
2. Have the CEO get sales reps to all capture data in the same way and in the same format. 
3. Think through the way metrics are captured to make it simple to input and informative for reviewers. For example, have a required "Date" field where sales reps input the day they had a sales call.
4. Replicate the process of what was successful in closing those customers
5. Refine the sales process - figure out what's working, and if something isn't working, remove it and combine it with another step.
