Understanding Sales Performance Reports

Access the Sales Performance report in SharpSpring's top toolbar by clicking
Reports > Sales Performance. 

The Sales Performance report provides information on estimates of the total and expected value of your pipeline. This report allows you to view how your sales representatives are doing. This way, you can measure performance and improve your sales strategy. 

The Sales Performance report shows how sales and expected value compare with one another in a bar graph.
