Sylvain Davril guides us through the basic configuration of the report, focusing on tracking people created, month by month, enabling detailed analysis of the evolution of your contact base.
Grouping for better management
The need to group data by specific criteria, such as person attributes or opportunity attributes, lies at the heart of the People Performance report’s power. This functionality opens the door to a multitude of analyses, such as segmentation based on behavior or specific interactions with your campaigns.
Add Columns for a 360° View
Adding customized columns is a unique feature of the People Performance report, enabling you to precisely track the evolution of statuses in a contact’s lifecycle. Sylvain illustrates this capability with the example of creating columns for each lead status, offering a clear view of individual paths within your marketing funnel.
