Interpreting the Performance Quadrants
The Sales Performance Matrix divides your team into four distinct quadrants:
- Inconsistent Performers (Top Left - Yellow)
- High quota attainment + Low pipeline health
- Reps hitting targets but needing help building sustainable pipeline
- Often indicates reps who closed one big deal but lack pipeline for future success
- Star Performers (Top Right - Green)
- High quota attainment + High pipeline health
- Your top performers with strong deal quality and execution
- Consistent Builders (Bottom Right - Blue)
- Low quota attainment + High pipeline health
- Reps with quality pipeline and good habits who may need help with closing techniques
- Coaching Needed (Bottom Left - Red)
- Low quota attainment + Low pipeline health
- Reps requiring comprehensive coaching and support to improve performance

Tips and Best Practices

- Sustainability Planning: Work with "Inconsistent Performers" (top left) to develop better pipeline building habits
- Closing Techniques: Provide targeted closing support to "Consistent Builders" (bottom right) to help convert their healthy pipeline
- Knowledge Sharing: Have "Star Performers" (top right) share best practices with the rest of the team
