In the realm of sales, information is the key to conquest. Imagine having a secret map that reveals the territories where your sales army is crushing it and where they’re struggling. Well, that map is a Quarterly Sales by Territory Report in Excel, and we’re about to hand you the blueprint.
Gather Your Sales Army’s Intel
First, gather data on your sales troops’ performance: territory, date of conquest (sale), number of deals captured, and the glorious treasure they’ve plundered (revenue). This data will be the raw material for your report.
Create Your Command Center: The Mighty Excel
Open Excel and select your data. Then, click on the “Insert” tab and choose “PivotTable.” This will create a summary table that will serve as your command center.
Group Your Troops by Quarters
In the “PivotTable Fields” pane, find the “Date” field and drag it to the “Rows” box. Then, right-click on the “Date” field in the “Rows” box and select “Group Selection.” In the “Group Selection” dialog box, select “Quarters” and click “OK.” This will group your sales data by quarters.
Deploy Your Forces: Drag and Conquer
Now, drag the “Quarters” field to the “Columns” box. This will create columns for each quarter. Next, drag the “Territory” field to the “Rows” box. This will create rows for each territory. Finally, drag the “Revenue” field to the “Values” box. This will display the total revenue for each territory in each quarter.
Polish Your Report: Make it Shine
Rename the column titles and format the table to make it easy to read. You can also add filters and slicers to customize the report and focus on specific territories or quarters.
Additional Intel: More Reports for More Glory
Repeat the above steps to create reports for deals by territory. This will give you insights into the number of deals closed in each territory.
Bonus: Sales Reporting Tools for the Modern Conqueror
While Excel is a powerful tool, there are also specialized sales reporting tools that can provide even deeper insights. Consider using tools like InsightSquared or Canopy to track real-time performance, filter by territory, and analyze your sales funnel.
Remember, a Quarterly Sales by Territory Report is not just a spreadsheet; it’s a weapon in your arsenal. Use it wisely to identify opportunities, conquer new territories, and achieve sales dominance.
