Sales Analytics
Definition
Sales analytics is the practice of using data analysis to evaluate sales performance, identify trends, and inform strategic decisions. Modern sales analytics combines traditional metrics (conversion rates, deal velocity, win rates) with conversation intelligence data (objection patterns, talk ratios, sentiment trends) to provide a comprehensive view of sales effectiveness.
Why Conversation Analytics Complete the Sales Analytics Picture
Traditional sales analytics tell you what happened — close rates, average deal size, cycle length. Conversation analytics tell you why it happened — which talk tracks won, which objections stalled deals, where engagement dropped. Together, they provide a complete picture that enables both strategic planning and tactical improvement. Agencies that combine both levels of analytics make faster, more informed decisions because they understand not just the outcomes but the conversation dynamics that drive them.
