Key Performance Indicators | Online Help - Zoho CRM

For example, a sales manager wants to monitor the top 10 sales reps in terms of average annual revenue each of them have achieved. He can easily accomplish this by creating a ranking style KPI by defining the average annual revenue as the KPI metric.

  • Scorecard
  • Rankings - Data can be ranked by day, calendar week, fiscal week, month, fiscal quarter, and year.
