Count more than the money
Counting the money you make tells you how well you did last week or last month - not how well you are going to do in the future. For that you need a more balanced view.

Managing Employees Performance
Measuring employee performance has come a long way from the annual performance appraisal to an on-going performance management process. In the past, managers and employees met once a year for the annual performance appraisal (review) to look back at the work done during the previous year and to evaluate what was accomplished. Human resources managers, managers/ supervisors and employees have come to realize that only looking back does little to improve performance. In recent years, there has been a shift away from performance appraisals to a more comprehensive approach called performance management.

Managing Performance: How To Conduct A Performance Review Right
One of the most common questions we get asked is: "We need to do annual performance reviews. Do you have a performance review form that we could use?" While admirable that the need to conduct a performance review is recognized, the purpose is often lost in the frenzy of filling out forms, setting up meetings with employees, and sitting through awkward, contrived discussions with them about their performance. The performance review is about managing and improving performance. It should be a motivating, inspiring process conducted not just once a year, but on a regular basis. In this article, we'll discuss how to effectively manage performance and provide tips for how and when to conduct a proper performance review.

Loyal Customers Build Sales
Having satisfied customers is no guarantee of improved business results. Satisfaction is a passive state: a willingness to stay until something better comes along. Loyalty is a long-term commitment to the brand or organization and is linked to share-of-wallet and retention. Identifying and measuring what’s important to the customer and improving your company’s performance on those critical issues is a proven way to build revenue and retain customers.
What Is Your Sales Team’s A. Q.?
It has been known for some time that if you want to measure an individual’s intelligence, you administer an Intelligence Quotient test. This has been an accepted method of measuring one’s intelligence for many years. In sales management, intelligence is important, but this does not get you closer to measuring or predicting your sales team’s effectiveness or the ability to predict with any certainty the projections of future sales. How do measure this? With an A. Q. test.

Creating an effective sales performance management system
Following on from last week’s article about managing and measuring the right things in sales, I thought it would be worth looking at some of the key principles for effective sales performance management systems. The first place to start is to align your sales performance management system and subsequent key measures to your organisation’s strategy and goals. It’s then the job of the CEO and the Sales Leader to ensure the organisation (that means everyone else who supports the sales effort) is aligned to the sales performance management system. When this dimension is in place the organisation is best placed to sustain high sales performance.
Measuring Effectiveness of Your Team
I recently read a quote that said "teamwork divides the task and multiplies the success." With any overhead being too high and most of the bottom lines being slightly lower than they used to be measuring effectiveness of your team has never been more important. It's all about consolidation and forming a plan of attack based on your team's unique qualities. Before you can step out with your battle plan firmly in place you really have to take stock in your team and measuring effectiveness of your team is the first step to doing so.

Measurement Traps
Measuring employee or organizational performance can cut both ways. It can play a valuable role in improving organizations - or it can stand in the way of necessary change. Used effectively, measurement can provide vital feedback that shows whether approaches being used are moving the organization toward its goals. It can assess whether staff training, teamwork, empowerment, process improvement, re-engineering or other trendy ideas are producing real results.
