As seen on our list above, there are plenty of sales report templates to use for different scenarios. You can track your team’s individual sales, monthly customer acquisition, and many more.

Ultimately, these templates help make well-informed decisions to drive sales growth.

Benefits of using sales reporting templates

Sales report templates offer plenty of advantages for businesses seeking data-driven strategies. Here are some of the benefits of using them:

  • Efficiency. Automate routine tasks and gain actionable insight on a regular basis.
  • Clarity. Present complex sales data in a visually intuitive format, so performance indicators are easy to understand for decision-makers.
  • Consistency. Offer consistent formats to maintain uniformity across various reporting periods or teams.
  • Simplicity. Has user-friendly interfaces for easy performance report and data interpretation.
  • Accuracy. Reduce the risk of errors for an effective sales report.

How to build a perfect sales report?

Building a perfect sales report involves a systematic approach. This ensures the report communicates the information and insights your team needs. 

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide on how to create a comprehensive sales report:

  • Define the purpose of the report. Understand the specific goals and objectives you aim to achieve with the sales report.
  • Identify essential metrics. Common metrics include conversion rates, time periods, and sales growth.
  • Select the right sales report template. Choose a suitable sales report template based on your requirements.
  • Gather relevant data. Collect data from essential sources, this might be your CRM system, sales software, marketing tools, and financial records.
  • Perform regular review. Consider scheduling regular reviews of the sales report to ensure relevance.

How to create a custom sales report

If you need a more customized solution than the above templates can offer, why not create your own report from scratch? With Coupler.io, it doesn’t take long to set up. Follow this step-by-step guide and have your sales report ready in less than 10 minutes.

First, sign up for a free Coupler.io account. Then go to the Importers tab on the main screen and click Add Importer to begin the set-up process.

1. Connect your sales data with Coupler.io

The next step is to determine which tool you want to visualize data from. For this tutorial, we’ll choose Pipedrive as the primary CRM and data source. Then proceed to the next step, where you can:

  • Specify the source account and data entity you would like to export, such as leads. In the advanced settings, you can filter or list specific columns to refine the data.

Once you click Finish and Proceed, you’ll see the option to add more sources to your report. Let’s say you also track lead data in HubSpot. In this case, you can add HubSpot as a source to visualize all of your data in one place. We’ll do that here to show you how it works.

  • Choose HubSpot as a second source and specify the source account and data entity (leads), just like before.
  • Use the optional advanced settings to make any exclusions or filter your data by time period. Then, click Finish and Proceed and move on the Transformations stage.
connect data pd hs sales templates

2. Organize and transform your data

This step allows you to make targeted fixes to your data before visualizing it in a dashboard. For instance, you can:

  • Sort and filter your data
  • Hide or rename columns
  • Append or join data from multiple sales applications
transform pd hs sales templates

The Join function is useful when you want to seamlessly merge data from two different apps, such as Pipedrive and HubSpot. It ensures that all fields in your lead data are logically consistent and not repeated.

join function pd hs sales templates

Once you have linked all of the fields, click Join data and proceed to the final step – Destinations.

3. Load data and schedule automated data refreshes

You also need to pick your preferred destination from the drop-down menu. We’ll go with Looker Studio here, as it has a low learning curve and it’s free to use. To finish setting up your sales report, simply:

  • Confirm your data destination (Looker Studio, Tableau, etc.)
  • Generate a dashboard in Looker Studio by following the authorization instructions in the external app.
  • Return to your Coupler.io browser tab and schedule an automatic data refresh. For example, you can configure the interval (hourly, daily, weekly), time preference, timezone, and days of the week.
3 schedule your importer

By default, the dashboard will be automatically updated every day. If you want a more frequent data refresh, choose the 15-minute refresh interval and make your dashboard update close to real-time!

After creating your first dashboard, you can access more ready-to-use dashboard options or create one from scratch by importing data from 60+ sources!
