If it’s realistic to shorten your sales cycle in your industry, you first need to understand how you can optimize your current sales cycle. We recommend you analyze the cycles for individual reps at the different stages of the cycle. A quick comparison can show how effective a rep is in comparison to others in your company. The shorter the time each lead spends in each stage of the funnel, the better. This can also serve as a way to track an individual rep’s progress over time. We show this on a sales KPI template that can alert you on when your staff could need extra training and goal setting.

Once you have a sales cycle length baseline, the goal should be to decrease that number, resulting in more sales in a shorter period of time.
