Excel Dashboard - Sales Performance

Business Dashboard Example: Sales Dashboard

A sales performance dashboard is an invaluable tool for sales management professionals. In the era of following-up web-based sales leads which grow stale faster than white bread, a sales dashboard can mean the difference between high-performance and lackluster results.

An excellent resource on using Microsoft Excel to power dashboards is exceluser.com where the article “Six Ways Excel Dashboards
Can Improve Cash Flows” by Charly Kyd appears: http://www.exceluser.com/dash/dashcash.htm. The author offers this graphic as a way to show a whole lot of info in a small space. “This image shows a page with the sales performance for 110 products. Each tiny figure includes the product code, two key metrics, and a chart of the most-recent 13 months of performance.”
