The 5-Second Sales Performance Dashboard: From Data to Decisions

Can your sales dashboard tell you what to do next in 5 seconds?

If not, this live session is for you. Learn how to create a clear, consistent, and actionable Sales Performance Dashboard that helps sales leaders see exactly where they stand and what to focus on next.

Your executives don’t need more data - they need charts that explain what to do next.

This session gives you the structure, KPI logic, and visual storytelling techniques to make that happen.


Why Most Dashboards Fail

The problem isn’t the data. It’s the story.

Sales dashboards often contain the right metrics, but they still fail to drive action.

They shouldn’t require guesswork. Yet most dashboards still:

  • Show numbers without context
  • Make comparisons difficult
  • Fail to explain why performance changed
  • Require sales leaders to dig and interpret instead of act

A great Sales Performance Dashboard changes that.
It answers four questions instantly:

  1. Are we on track?
  2. How are we progressing toward the target?
  3. Where are the gaps — and why?
  4. What should we focus on next?
You'll learn:
How to present Actual vs. Plan with meaningful variances
How to track End-of-Month (EOM) progress toward targets
How to add KPIs like deal size, conversion, and commission without clutter
How to apply Zebra BI visual standards for clarity and trust
How to build row-level security views for the desired audience
How to design mobile dashboards for field sales

Our financial landing page at KPN is completely based on the sales dashboard template. We also use a copy of the consolidated financials. The templates of Zebra BI are providing us with a lot of inspiration, and we don't "need to invent the wheel" again 😉

An amazing visual for finance. It has a lot of possibilities such as analytic periods, variances, or custom hierarchies for your income statement. 100% advisable.

I've recently been experimenting with Zebra BI's custom Table visual, which is like the native Power BI matrix on steroids. If your work allows for the use of custom visuals, I think it's definitely worth checking out. Planning on doing a video on it soon...

I had a phone interview for a #PowerBI contract, where the interviewer said of the sample dashboards in my CV: "Great...I see you use @ZebraBI!" How cool is that? And they mentioned my top-secret passphrase on the call: "Actionable Insight". I'm in.

The reusable trick of switch I think is brilliant! And obviously, Zebra BI table replaces any other table now in Power bi. RIP to normal tables!
Manuel Barahona Gandía

This visual from Zebra BI enables you to build stunning P&L, CF, and BS statements with complex structures with ease. Very intuitive for developers and users. In my opinion the best solution for Financial Reporting structures. 11 Stars!

As you say, Andrej Lapajne, we spent A LOT, searching and explaining how to do Comments, with Power Apps, and also with the help of Excel. They were workarounds!!! No doubt...this is awesome and the simple way to go forward.
