❖A Sales Insight Dashboard is a powerful tool that provides real-time
visibility into sales metrics and performance. It aggregates data from various sources, presenting it in an intuitive and interactive format, often through charts and graphs. ❖ This allows sales managers and teams to monitor their sales pipeline, track customer acquisition, and forecast future sales with greater accuracy Here’s a brief introduction to what a Sales Insight Dashboard typically includes: ❖Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Metrics such as sales volume, revenue, conversion rates, and average deal size are displayed to measure success. ❖Sales Pipeline: Visualization of the sales funnel, showing the stages of deals from prospecting to closing. ❖Customer Data: Insights into customer behavior, preferences, and engagement levels. ❖Forecasting: Predictive analytics to estimate future sales based on historical data and trends. ❖Actionable Insights: The dashboard highlights areas that require attention, allowing sales teams to make informed decisions quickly. WHAT IS POWER BI ?
Power BI is a comprehensive suite of software services, applications, and
connectors designed by Microsoft. It seamlessly transforms disparate data sources into coherent, visually immersive, and interactive insights. Whether your data originates from an Excel spreadsheet, cloud-based repositories, or on-premises hybrid data warehouses, Power BI enables you to:
Connect: Easily link to your data sources.
Visualize: Create compelling visual representations of your data. Discover: Uncover critical insights. Share: Collaborate by sharing your findings with colleagues or stakeholders. WHAT IS SALES DASHBOARD?
❖A sales dashboard is a visual representation of sales-related data. It
condenses critical metrics into easy-to-understand charts and graphs. ❖Whether you’re a large corporation or a small e-commerce store, a sales dashboard helps you review performance and plan future strategies. Demo Overview
