Create sales goals

 

 

With goals, managers can create user-specific quotas for their sales and services teams. Managers can then assign these goals at the user, team, or pipeline level.

Different subscription tiers have access to different goal measures:

  • Sales Hub Starter and Professional has access to only the Revenue goal measure. 
  • Sales Hub Enterprise has access to the Calls loggedDeals createdMeetings bookedRevenue goal measures.
  • Service Hub Enterprise has access to the Average ticket resolution timeAverage ticket response timeTickets closed goal measures.

 

Please note: goals will replace quotas in paid Sales Hub and Service Hub accounts created after September 5, 2018. Free users who created a quota in the quota tool before September 5, 2018 will still have access to a basic version of goals in their account.

Report on sales goals

You can create single-object reports that track revenue goals to measure your impact over time. HubSpot provides a set of standard reports in the report library, and Professional or Enterprise users can customize these reports or create a custom report.

When creating a revenue goal report, keep in mind the following:

  • You can add sales goals to a report by adjusting the Display options in the report builder. The report must be a single-object deal report that includes a date property. The report must also use the Line or Area chart type.

  • When using sales goals in custom single-object reports, it's recommended to include a filter for a specific pipeline associated with the goal. Otherwise, all pipelines will be factored into the report.
  • Revenue goal is calculated as follows: (goal revenue / total number of days in the selected date range) x number of days so far in the selected date range.
    • For example, if the date range in your report is set to This month, the calculation would be: (goal revenue / total number of days in the month) x number of days in the month so far.
