- Many industry researchers, agree that 90% of spreadsheets contain so much inaccurate self-reported data that they are unusable for sales management and coaching.
- Only 34% of Business Bankers feel their pipeline is accurate. Wasted time invested each week on inaccurate forecasts is a critical issue that should concern sales leadership.
- Most sales forecasts are done in spreadsheets and over 50% of sales managers say they are inaccurate and contain little useful data.
- On a deal-by-deal basis, the current accuracy of forecasting is less reliable than simply tossing a coin.
It should come as no surprise that manual reporting in spreadsheets is an inaccurate business practice that requires a team effort (from various departments collecting data from multiple systems). This manual process and inaccuracy can total THOUSAND OF DOLLARS in direct and indirect costs.
Most sales teams have invested in a CRM system hoping to eliminate spreadsheets and improve sales reporting. Poor user-adoption, self-reported data, the lack of system integration and false promises have dashed those dreams.
Over the past decade, Performance Insights has tracked the sales performance of 370 banks and found that when everyone in the organization has the accurate information they need to be successful, amazing things happen. We have also found that sales managers are tired of waiting months and years for sales reports. They are tired of spending precious resources to pull data from multiple systems and building spreadsheets that never get used. It is time to cut the data clutter and expense of spreadsheets!
