# 📊 Sales Metrics & KPI Framework
|
||
|
||
**PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL**
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
**What gets measured gets managed.**
|
||
|
||
This document defines the key performance indicators (KPIs) for BlackRoad OS sales reps, teams, and the organization.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Individual Rep Metrics
|
||
|
||
### 1. Quota Attainment
|
||
|
||
**Definition:** Percentage of assigned quota achieved
|
||
|
||
**Formula:**
|
||
```
|
||
Quota Attainment = (Actual Revenue / Quota) × 100%
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Targets:**
|
||
- **>100%** = Exceeds expectations (full bonus)
|
||
- **80-100%** = Meets expectations (prorated bonus)
|
||
- **<80%** = Below expectations (performance improvement plan)
|
||
|
||
**Frequency:** Measured quarterly and annually
|
||
|
||
**Example:**
|
||
- Q1 Quota: $250K
|
||
- Q1 Closed: $280K
|
||
- **Quota Attainment: 112%** ✅
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 2. Win Rate
|
||
|
||
**Definition:** Percentage of qualified opportunities that close
|
||
|
||
**Formula:**
|
||
```
|
||
Win Rate = (Closed-Won Deals / Total Qualified Opportunities) × 100%
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Targets:**
|
||
- **>40%** = Excellent (strong qualification and value selling)
|
||
- **30-40%** = Good
|
||
- **<30%** = Poor (likely over-qualifying or weak positioning)
|
||
|
||
**Frequency:** Measured monthly
|
||
|
||
**Example:**
|
||
- Q1 Qualified Opps: 20
|
||
- Q1 Closed-Won: 9
|
||
- **Win Rate: 45%** ✅
|
||
|
||
**Note:** Only count "qualified" opportunities (passed BANT++ criteria). Don't dilute win rate with junk leads.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 3. Average Contract Value (ACV)
|
||
|
||
**Definition:** Average annual contract value per closed deal
|
||
|
||
**Formula:**
|
||
```
|
||
ACV = Total Annual Contract Value / Number of Deals
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Targets:**
|
||
- **SMB Rep:** $50K+ ACV
|
||
- **Mid-Market Rep:** $150K+ ACV
|
||
- **Enterprise Rep:** $500K+ ACV
|
||
|
||
**Frequency:** Measured quarterly
|
||
|
||
**Example:**
|
||
- Q1 Deals: 5
|
||
- Total ACV: $400K
|
||
- **Average ACV: $80K** ✅
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 4. Sales Cycle Length
|
||
|
||
**Definition:** Average number of days from first contact to close
|
||
|
||
**Formula:**
|
||
```
|
||
Sales Cycle = Total Days from First Contact to Close / Number of Deals
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Targets:**
|
||
- **SMB:** <60 days
|
||
- **Mid-Market:** <120 days
|
||
- **Enterprise:** <180 days
|
||
|
||
**Frequency:** Measured quarterly
|
||
|
||
**Example:**
|
||
- Deal 1: 45 days
|
||
- Deal 2: 68 days
|
||
- Deal 3: 52 days
|
||
- **Average Sales Cycle: 55 days** ✅
|
||
|
||
**Why It Matters:** Shorter cycles = faster revenue recognition and higher rep productivity
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 5. Pipeline Coverage
|
||
|
||
**Definition:** Ratio of pipeline value to quota
|
||
|
||
**Formula:**
|
||
```
|
||
Pipeline Coverage = Total Pipeline Value / Remaining Quota
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Targets:**
|
||
- **3x coverage** = Healthy (accounts for win rate and slippage)
|
||
- **2x coverage** = At-risk (need to generate more pipeline)
|
||
- **<2x coverage** = Critical (unlikely to hit quota)
|
||
|
||
**Frequency:** Measured weekly
|
||
|
||
**Example:**
|
||
- Q2 Quota: $250K
|
||
- Q2 Closed YTD: $80K
|
||
- Remaining Quota: $170K
|
||
- Current Pipeline: $510K
|
||
- **Pipeline Coverage: 3x** ✅
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 6. Activity Metrics
|
||
|
||
**Definition:** Leading indicators of pipeline generation
|
||
|
||
| Activity | Target (per day) | Target (per week) |
|
||
|----------|------------------|-------------------|
|
||
| **Outreach Touches** | 30-50 | 150-250 |
|
||
| **Discovery Calls** | 1-2 | 5-10 |
|
||
| **Demos Delivered** | 0.5-1 | 3-5 |
|
||
| **Proposals Sent** | 0.2-0.5 | 1-2 |
|
||
|
||
**Frequency:** Measured daily/weekly
|
||
|
||
**Why It Matters:** Activity drives pipeline. Low activity = low pipeline = low revenue.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Team Metrics
|
||
|
||
### 7. Net Revenue Retention (NRR)
|
||
|
||
**Definition:** Revenue retained + expanded from existing customers
|
||
|
||
**Formula:**
|
||
```
|
||
NRR = ((Starting ARR + Expansion - Churn) / Starting ARR) × 100%
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Targets:**
|
||
- **>120%** = Exceptional (strong product-market fit and expansion)
|
||
- **100-120%** = Good (retaining and growing customers)
|
||
- **<100%** = Churn problem (customers not seeing value)
|
||
|
||
**Frequency:** Measured annually
|
||
|
||
**Example:**
|
||
- Starting ARR (Jan 1): $5M
|
||
- Expansion (upsells): $1.2M
|
||
- Churn (lost customers): $300K
|
||
- Ending ARR (Dec 31): $5.9M
|
||
- **NRR: 118%** ✅
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 8. Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
|
||
|
||
**Definition:** Total cost to acquire a new customer
|
||
|
||
**Formula:**
|
||
```
|
||
CAC = (Sales + Marketing Expenses) / Number of New Customers
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Target:** **<12 months payback** (CAC should be recovered within 1 year)
|
||
|
||
**Frequency:** Measured quarterly
|
||
|
||
**Example:**
|
||
- Q1 Sales + Marketing Spend: $500K
|
||
- Q1 New Customers: 20
|
||
- **CAC: $25K per customer**
|
||
- Average ACV: $60K
|
||
- **Payback Period: 5 months** ✅
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 9. CAC Ratio (Magic Number)
|
||
|
||
**Definition:** Efficiency of sales and marketing spend
|
||
|
||
**Formula:**
|
||
```
|
||
CAC Ratio = (New ARR × Gross Margin %) / (Sales + Marketing Spend)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Targets:**
|
||
- **>1.0** = Efficient (invest more in sales/marketing)
|
||
- **0.5-1.0** = Acceptable
|
||
- **<0.5** = Inefficient (need to improve conversion or reduce spend)
|
||
|
||
**Frequency:** Measured quarterly
|
||
|
||
**Example:**
|
||
- New ARR added in Q1: $800K
|
||
- Gross Margin: 80%
|
||
- Sales + Marketing Spend: $500K
|
||
- **CAC Ratio: ($800K × 80%) / $500K = 1.28** ✅ (invest more!)
|
||

|
||
|
||
### 10. Win Rate by Source
|
||
|
||
**Definition:** Win rate segmented by lead source
|
||
|
||
**Why It Matters:** Identifies highest-ROI channels
|
||
|

|
||
|-------------|------|------|----------|

|
||
| **Referral** | 10 | 7 | **70%** ✅ |
|
||
| **Events** | 15 | 5 | **33%** |
|
||
|
||
**Action:** Double down on inbound and referrals (highest win rate).

|
||
## Operational Metrics

||
|
||
### 11. Time to First Value

||
|
||
**Definition:** Days from contract signing to customer achieving first milestone
|
||

|
||
|
||
### 12. Proposal-to-Close Rate
|
||
|
||
**Definition:** Percentage of proposals that result in closed deals
|
||
|
||
**Formula:**
|
||
```
|
||
Proposal-to-Close = (Closed-Won / Proposals Sent) × 100%
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Target:** **>50%** (if lower, proposals aren't well-qualified)

||
|
||
### 13. Demo-to-Close Rate
|
||
|
||
**Definition:** Percentage of demos that result in closed deals

||
```
|
||
|
||
**Target:** **>30%**
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Forecasting Metrics
|
||
|
||
### 14. Weighted Pipeline
|
||
|
||
**Definition:** Pipeline value adjusted by stage probability
|
||
|
||
**Formula:**
|
||
```
|
||
Weighted Pipeline = Σ (Deal Value × Stage Probability)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Stage Probabilities:**
|
||
- Qualify: 10%
|
||
- Discover: 25%
|
||
- Demo: 40%

||
|
||
### 15. Forecast Accuracy
|
||
|
||
**Definition:** How accurate are your forecasts?
|
||
|
||
**Formula:**
|
||
```
|
||
Forecast Accuracy = (Actual Revenue / Forecasted Revenue) × 100%
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Target:** **90-110%** (within 10% of forecast)
|
||
|
||
**Why It Matters:** Accurate forecasts enable better planning (hiring, product, finance).

|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
🚩 **NRR <100%**

|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Tools for Metrics Tracking
|
||
|
||
**Recommended Stack:**
|
||
- **CRM:** HubSpot (pipeline, activity tracking)
|
||
- **Analytics:** Tableau, Looker, or Metabase (dashboards)

- **Forecasting:** Clari or Avoma
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Compensation Alignment
|
||
|
||
Metrics should tie to compensation:
|
||
|
||
| Metric | % of Comp |
|
||
|--------|-----------|
|
||
| **Quota Attainment** | 70% (base salary + variable) |
|
||
| **New Logo Acquisition** | 15% (bonus for new customers) |
|
||
| **NRR / Expansion** | 10% (reward retention and growth) |
|
||
| **Activity / Leading Indicators** | 5% (ensure consistent effort) |
|
||
|
||
**Example Comp Plan:**
|
||
- **Base Salary:** $100K
|
||
- **Variable (at 100% attainment):** $100K
|
||
- **Total OTE (On-Target Earnings):** $200K
|
||
- **Top Performer (120% attainment):** $240K+
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Final Thoughts
|
||
|
||
**Metrics are a means, not an end.**
|
||
|
||
The goal is not to "hit numbers." The goal is to **build a predictable, scalable sales engine** that creates value for customers and the business.
|
||
|
||
Use metrics to:
|
||
- ✅ Identify what's working (double down)
|
||
- ✅ Spot problems early (course-correct)
|
||
- ✅ Reward high performers (comp alignment)
|
||
- ✅ Coach and develop reps (data-driven feedback)
|
||
|
||
**Metrics tell the story. Execution writes the ending.**
