G'day Karen, I was purely a salesman for twelve years then ran up to 16 salesman at any one time for a few years more.
I don't believe there is a single report that does the job for me. I have several. I will send you a pdf of one that shows value of sales, number of sales, avg number of items per sale, percentage of total sales, percentage of total profit by sales person. Steal what you will from it. :-) At 18:58 07/11/02 -0500, you wrote:
Warmest regards,I read all your interesting emails. Everyone agrees that it isn't easy to determine what's most important. Factors such as employee salary, the priorities of the company (is it sale$ or the number of sales they make) are all different. So let's put that all aside and say that my client has picked the one factor that is the most important to them in terms of weighing the profit%. Let's say that they pick the profit$ as most immportant. I could simly sort the RBase report by profit% DESC, and then profit$ DESC: Salesman1 $1,500 40% Salesman2 150 40 Salesman3 2,000 38 Salesman4 1,500 38 But again this doesn't look fair because Salesman3 was clearly more 'productive' than Salesman2! So here's my final question on this. Is there a formula where I can 'weigh' the profit% by the profit$ so that it gives me a number that is comparable between all 4 of these guys!
