Sales rep management
See where each salesperson needs attention — without chasing for updates.
Keep ownership, due follow-ups, open quotations and exceptions visible so managers can help the team where it matters.
Example
| Salesperson | Due today | Overdue | Open quotes | Needs help |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neha | 8 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
| Amit | 6 | 5 | 7 | 3 |
| Ravi | 9 | 0 | 2 | 0 |
| Mihir | 4 | 2 | 3 | 1 |
Amit — needs attention
- 5 overdue follow-ups
- 2 quotations waiting
- 1 enquiry without next action
Not who is performing.Where should the manager help?
Ownership comes before performance.
Before asking how a salesperson is performing, the manager should be able to see what work they currently own.
- Open enquiries
- Quotations
- Follow-ups
- Customers
- Next actions
You cannot manage work clearly if ownership itself is unclear.
What should each salesperson see?
The view should feel useful to the salesperson, not only to management.
Example
- Follow-ups due
- 8
- New enquiries
- 4
- Quotations waiting
- 3
- Overdue
- 1
- 10:30Call Apex Components
- 12:00Send revised quotation to Nova
- 15:00Follow up Kamath Traders
What should the manager see?
Choose a salesperson to see what is sitting with them right now.
Neha — what is sitting with them
- 1 overdue follow-up
- 4 quotations waiting
- 1 customer meeting to confirm
Amit — what is sitting with them
- 5 overdue follow-ups
- 2 quotations waiting
- 1 enquiry without next action
Ravi — what is sitting with them
- Nothing overdue
- 2 quotations waiting
- 9 follow-ups due today
Mihir — what is sitting with them
- 2 overdue follow-ups
- 3 quotations waiting
- 1 enquiry without next action
Start with exceptions.
- Who has too many overdue follow-ups?
- Who has enquiries with no next action?
- Who is waiting on several quotation decisions?
- Who has too much work assigned?
- Who has no work assigned?
None of these answers tells you whether somebody is good at their job. They tell you where the work has stopped.
Workload is not the same as performance.
- Ravi12 open enquiries0 overdue
- Amit7 open enquiries5 overdue
- Neha18 open enquiries1 overdue
A higher number of enquiries does not automatically mean better or worse performance.The useful question is whether the person has a manageable workload and clear next actions.
Make handover easier when somebody is unavailable.
Neha is on leave.
- 3 follow-ups due today
- 2 quotations waiting
- 1 customer meeting
What should happen
- Reassign selected work
- Keep customer history
- Preserve notes
- Keep next action visible
Customer follow-up should not disappear because one salesperson is unavailable.
Managers should review the work — not reconstruct it.
Without shared visibility
- Call salesperson
- Check WhatsApp
- Ask for Excel
- Collect status
- Build report
With shared visibility
- Open current work
- Review exceptions
- Discuss where help is needed
The conversation with the team still happens. What changes is that it starts from the same information instead of from five separate answers.
What the team is working on.
- Sales PipelineThe same work seen by opportunity rather than by person.
- Follow-up AutomationWhere the overdue items on this page come from, and how to stop collecting them.
- Lead ManagementThe point at which an enquiry gets an owner in the first place.
- Customer 360What the person taking over a customer needs to be able to read.
