KPIs should be considered an opportuntiy to coach, train and reinforce skills and processes with your team. 3. Dial-to-contact percentage Also referred to as the “contact attempt percentage”. This measurement is important because it identifies exactly how much effort your team is putting in to generate actual sales. To calculate this percentage you need to know how many contact attempts (i.e. calls or dials) per day that have been made to try and contact each lead. I like to measure this in “number of dials per day”. 4. Contacts per day This may be via SMS, messenger or phone calls.

They shouldn’t have to go away and think about joining; they should be buying straight away. When your team understand how to create value they will never have to spend time trying to overcome objections. 8. NSR-to-sale percentage How many booked appointments actually show up. The last thing to measure is those who say they’ll come back later to join. I refer to these leads as “NSR”, which stands for “no sale but returning”. It is recommended that they be booked in for the return visit before they leave your facility. 7. Show -to-sale percentage IN SUMMARY From the show (e.g. their tour/ experience/trial), do they actually buy?
