DocsGoals & Quotas Overview
Track revenue targets and sales quotas
The Goals module lets you define measurable targets for individuals, teams, and the whole organization. Every goal tracks one metric over one period, and progress is computed automatically from your CRM data. Goals also feed the Sales Leaderboard, so the same numbers that drive a rep's progress bar also drive their standing on the board.
Goals and the leaderboard read the same metric catalog, so a metric always means the same thing wherever it appears. Ten metrics are available — eight are simple counts and two are currency amounts:
Count metrics
- Calls Made — completed call activities you logged.
- Emails Sent — email activities you logged.
- Meetings — meeting activities you logged.
- Activities — every activity logged, regardless of type.
- Tasks Completed — tasks marked done, counted for the person they were assigned to or who created them.
- Deals Added — new opportunities created in the period, by deal owner.
- Deals Progressed — deals that moved into a later pipeline stage in the period.
- Deals Won — opportunities closed as won in the period.
Currency metrics
- Revenue Won — the summed value of deals closed as won in the period.
- Pipeline Created — the summed value of deals created in the period, at any stage.
Each goal appears as a row with its key details visible at a glance. Use this view to monitor progress across your team and quickly spot goals that are ahead, on track, behind, or at risk.
What each goal shows
- Name — the goal name describing what is being tracked.
- Metric — which of the ten metrics the goal measures.
- Target — the value to reach (an amount for currency goals, a whole number for count goals).
- Progress — current progress toward the target, as a value and a percentage, with a pace status.
- Period — the goal's time frame: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, or a custom date range.
- Applies to — the individual, team, or organization the goal is set for.
Progress alone doesn't tell you whether a goal is healthy — being 40% of the way to target is great on day two of a month and worrying on day 28. Every goal is therefore scored by comparing how far along its progress is against how much of its period has elapsed. That comparison produces one of five pace states:
- Achieved — progress reached or passed 100% of the target. This is the only state shown in green.
- Ahead — progress is running ahead of the pace expected for the time elapsed. Shown in a neutral tone, not green — ahead of pace is not yet done.
- On track — progress matches the expected pace for the time elapsed.
- Behind — progress trails the expected pace, but by less than the at-risk threshold.
- At risk — progress is more than 20 percentage points behind the expected pace. This is the state that needs attention.
A subject can hold only one active goal for a given metric and period type at a time.
Each person, team, or organization can have only one active goal for a given metric and period type — for example, one active monthly Revenue Won goal per rep. This keeps progress and leaderboard attainment unambiguous. If you try to create a second active goal that collides with an existing one, the create is refused with a message like “An active Revenue Won goal for this monthly period already exists for this user.” You can still keep goals for other metrics or other period types alongside it.
The goals list is filtered to what your role is allowed to see. Which goals appear depends on your goals view scope:
- Own — your own individual goals, plus any team goals for teams you belong to and any organization-wide goals.
- Team — goals for everyone on your team, plus your team's and the organization's goals.
- All — every goal in the organization.
The Sales Leaderboard can rank your team three ways — by a raw metric total, by most-improved, or by attainment. Attainment mode is the one wired directly to goals: it ranks each rep by how far they are toward their own goal for the metric you pick with the board's metric selector. So the board never shows an unqualified “goal attainment” number — it always reads as attainment against your chosen metric, for example “attainment vs your Revenue Won goal.”
- Metric-scoped — a visible metric selector chooses which goal the board ranks against. Change the metric and the ranking recomputes.
- Period has to match — only reps whose active goal period matches the board's period carry an attainment percentage. A rep with no matching-period goal shows a dash and sorts after everyone who does have one.
- Same math as the goals page — attainment is computed in the goal's own currency, so a rep's board attainment is identical to the percentage on their goal.
When a goal you own reaches its target, you get a Goal Achieved notification — an awareness update in your notifications, folded into your email digest rather than sent immediately. When a goal you own falls behind and is trending to miss its target, you get a Goal at Risk notification — an actionable alert delivered both in-app and as an immediate email. A separate batched pace digest can also summarize your at-pace and off-pace goals once a day, respecting your quiet hours; it never pings you per goal. Manage which goal updates reach you, and how, from your Notification settings.
Goals expose two triggers to the Automations Hub: Goal achieved and Goal at risk. Both fire from the periodic goal evaluation, so you can build a rule that reacts the moment a goal crosses its target or slips behind pace — for example, notify a manager, create a follow-up task, or post an update.
The recommended way to celebrate wins is a single automation: a Goal achieved rule that posts to a team chat channel. Celebrations go to a shared channel, never as a direct message, so the whole team sees the moment a goal is hit.
Closed periods roll into a per-period history, with a short window to catch late data.
As each period closes, the goal's result is recorded into its period history so past performance and streaks are preserved. Because data sometimes arrives late — a deal backdated to last week, an activity logged after the fact — the most recent closed period is re-checked on each evaluation and can still flip to achieved if late data pushes it over target. Once a newer period closes behind it, that period freezes: older history no longer changes.
