Sales Goals

Setting sales goals is easy. Knowing whether you're actually on track is much harder.

Dear Lucy helps sales leaders track company, team and individual sales goals in real time. Compare actual performance, sales pacing and forecast against targets to identify risks early and keep every team on track to achieve its goals.

Whether you're managing annual revenue targets, quarterly quotas or weekly activity goals, everyone shares the same up-to-date view of progress.

Turn Sales Goals Into Daily Action

Sales goals shouldn't disappear into spreadsheets after the quarterly planning meeting.

Dear Lucy keeps every sales goal visible throughout the year, helping sales leaders understand exactly where teams stand and where action is needed.

Instead of manually updating reports, dashboards automatically calculate progress using live CRM data from Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Pipedrive.

Monitor:

Stay On Pace — Not Just On Target

Hitting a yearly target isn't about where you finish.

It's about whether you're on pace today.

Dear Lucy continuously compares actual performance with expected progress, helping managers identify risks early enough to act.

Instead of discovering you're behind target at quarter end, you immediately see:

  • Teams falling behind

  • Reps exceeding expectations

  • Regions requiring support

  • Products outperforming forecast

  • Pipeline gaps affecting future attainment

This allows coaching while there's still time to improve the outcome.

Forecast Against Goals

A team may currently be behind target while still being forecast to achieve its goals.

Or the opposite.

Dear Lucy combines sales forecasting with goal tracking, giving leadership a much clearer picture than static quota reports.

Instead of simply asking:

"How much have we sold?"

You can answer:

  • Will we hit our target?

  • How far behind are we?

  • What does our current pipeline suggest?

  • Which teams are most at risk?

  • How much additional pipeline is needed?

Combining sales forecasting with live goal tracking helps leaders identify risks earlier, adjust priorities sooner and make better decisions throughout the quarter.

Track Goals At Every Level

Every organisation measures success differently.

Dear Lucy supports sales goals across multiple dimensions without requiring complicated spreadsheets.

Examples include:

Company

Overall revenue, bookings and pipeline goals.

Teams

Regional, business unit or department targets.

Sales Reps

Individual quotas, activities and performance.

Products

Revenue or volume targets by product.

Customer Segments

Goals for enterprise, SMB or strategic accounts.

Activities

Calls, meetings, demos and opportunities created.

Because goals are calculated directly from CRM data, everyone works from the same numbers.

One Shared View For Sales Leadership

Sales managers, directors and executives no longer need to combine spreadsheets from different teams before reviewing performance.

Everyone works from the same dashboards.

This makes:

faster, more consistent and completely data-driven.

Built On Your Existing CRM
