A well-designed performance dashboard can be a powerful motivational tool. But poorly designed dashboards can overwhelm users and hide important information.
Key Principles of Dashboard Design
Effective dashboards follow core principles: show the most important metrics prominently, provide context for numbers, and allow users to drill down for details.
What Sales Reps Want to See
Sales reps primarily care about their progress toward targets, projected earnings, and how they compare to peers. Design your dashboards to answer these questions at a glance.
Manager Dashboards
