Amateurs trust their gut. Closers track the truth.
🔥 Hook:
Sales used to be about instinct.
Today, it’s about insight.
Top-performing teams don’t just work harder.
They work smarter — because they know what to track, when to act, and how to coach.
Data isn’t a report. It’s a weapon.
🤡 What Happens Without Data?
-
Your coaching becomes “vibes-based”
-
Your forecasts collapse
-
Reps chase deals with no signals
-
Everyone’s “busy,” but no one’s winning
You don’t have a sales team — you have a sales blur.
✅ What Data-Driven Teams Do Differently
They don’t drown in dashboards. They focus on:
-
Input metrics (calls made, emails sent)
-
Conversion metrics (discovery → proposal → close)
-
Coaching triggers (objections missed, silence gaps)
-
Performance patterns (rep trends, deal velocity)
They don’t just measure activity — they measure movement.
🎯 Jack’s Focus: Data That Closes
“If it doesn’t help me close faster or better, I don’t track it.”
Jack filters for:
-
Objection handling success rate
-
Close rate by deal size
-
Framing effectiveness (tracked via call tools)
He builds a heatmap of pressure points — and trains for them.
🧠 Alicia’s Lens: Data = Buyer Truth
“Your pipeline should reflect the buyer’s reality — not the rep’s ego.”
Alicia uses:
-
Buyer response time
-
Deal stall points
-
Emotional signals logged in CRM notes
She reads between the lines — and teaches reps to do the same.
