Sales Targets Guide

 

Overview

 

Control > Commerce > Sales Targets

 

The Sales Target functionality helps to set targets against editions, sales teams, individual (or multiple grouped) and catalogue items (subscriptions, events, etc) of any kind.

 

The listing screen displays all the active targets together with headline performance stats).

 

The detail screen shows where you are in the current timeline, what sales have been made against any given target (and the status of those sales) and where you currently are on the curve.

 

Sales Targets are an important tool for motivating teams and providing quick visual references of where they are in any given campaign.
