I’ve written extensively on Data-Driven and Analytical Management of Sales (as well as Sales & Marketing). I also wrote few books (https://www.revenue-inc.com/books/) on the Quant Sales Management methods. But in this article I decided to share actual lists of the most essential analyses and reports that I regularly use to manage Sales & Marketing analytically for all the real CRO or VP of Sales & Marketing *Quants*. Some of these are contextual and there are additional analyses I’d do for different types of companies but if you are running a B2B sales & marketing org in SaaS then these lists below will typically be ones that you will use regularly to assess how to hit and over-attain your sales targets by optimizing the entire funnel from Lead Gen > SDRs > AEs and all the way to Closed-Won sales.

Here is also a list of Monthly (& Quarterly) Sales Analyses that you would want to review on a monthly basis (they complement and add more insights in addition to the ones you review weekly):
And these are the Monthly (& Quarterly) Marketing Analyses:
What else? What are your thoughts on the key analyses and reports you need to have as a Quant CRO / VP of Sales & Marketing?
