When Out Of Office: The Only 4 Business Reports You’ll Need

“What gets measured, gets managed.” – Peter Drucker

This quote by Peter Drucker, the late management pundit, depicts the reason why most organizations invest in analytics. And, isn’t it true? If you’re not measuring your digital initiatives, how will you ever begin to optimize them?

However, don’t get carried away just yet. Just because you measured something, the management of the same is not guaranteed. That being said, measurement is the starting point for sure.

As the name suggests, a business report highlights the data pertaining to a particular business. It conveys information from one person, group or a company to another. While making major decisions to keep the business running, most business owners ignore the basics. One of these is, generating reports. This could mostly be attributed to the extreme lack of time and higher priorities. However, business reports can actually save you tones of time, resources and cost; playing a dramatic role in deciding the future of your organization.

In this post, I tell you about the 4 business reports that’ll give you all the updates you need, whether you’re seated at your desk or holidaying in Hawaii.

Lead Status Report

For more effective sales organization, sales managers need to separate their leads by queues and can make use of this capability to run through all leads in a certain status. The lead ageing report will depict the age of engagement with each of these leads and hence you can know the prospects’ journey. Kapture sales reporting system can be your companion in this respect.
