Periodic Sales Performance Review
Pulls rep-level and team-level sales data from whatever system the user tracks performance in, analyzes it over a chosen period, and produces a report that answers the questions a sales leader actually cares about: Are we going to hit the number? Who's carrying the team? Who needs help? Where are the coaching opportunities? Are our forecasts reliable?
Two output modes:
Executive summary: 1-page snapshot. Quota attainment, top/bottom performers, red flags, green lights. What a VP Sales reads before the Monday standup.
Detailed diagnostic: Full rep-by-rep breakdown, activity analysis, deal progression, win/loss patterns, forecast accuracy, and coaching recommendations.
Both are always produced. The executive summary sits at the top of the report.

Input Contract
period: {
type: "weekly" | "monthly" | "quarterly" | "custom"
start_date: string # ISO date (auto-calculated from type, or user-specified)
end_date: string # ISO date (default: today)
comparison_period: boolean # Include prior period for trend comparison (default: true)
}
crm_tool: string # From config
access_method: string # From config
activity_source: string # From config
rep_names: string[] # From config
Process
Pull three categories of data:
A) Deal Data (per rep)

Salesforce
SOQL query on Opportunity with Owner filter
HubSpot
Deals API filtered by owner
Pipedrive
Deals API filtered by owner
Close
Leads/Opportunities API by assigned user
Supabase
Query deals table with rep filter
CSV
User provides file, filter by owner column
For each rep, pull:
All deals closed (won + lost) in the period
All deals created in the period
All deals currently open (active pipeline)

Meetings held (count, no-shows if available)
Proposals/demos delivered
LinkedIn touches (if tracked)
C) Forecast Data (if tracked)
Pull the forecast submitted at the start of the period for comparison to actuals:
## Performance Data Pulled
Source: [CRM name]
Activity source: [Activity tool name]
Current period: [start] to [end]
Comparison period: [start] to [end]
Reps found: [list of rep names]
Deals closed in period: X won, Y lost
Activity data available: [yes/partial/no]
Forecast data available: [yes/no]
Data looks correct? (Y/n)
Step 2: Analyze Performance
Purpose: Run the full analysis across six dimensions. Pure computation + LLM reasoning.
Input Contract
performance_data: { ... } # From Step 1
rep_quotas: { ... } # From config
team_target: number # From config
activity_targets: { ... } | null # From config
pipeline_stages: string[] # From config
expected_cycle_days: integer # From config
Analysis Dimensions
Run all six analyses on the current period data. Where comparison period exists, calculate period-over-period trends.
Analysis 1: Quota Attainment
Questions answered: Are we going to hit the number? Who's on track and who isn't?
Metric
How to Calculate
Team revenue closed
Sum of all reps' closed won
Team attainment
Team revenue / team target
Rep attainment
Each rep's closed won / their quota
Attainment distribution
How many reps at >100%, 80-100%, 50-80%, <50%
Run rate projection
(Revenue closed / days elapsed) × days in period
Gap to target
Team target - closed won - weighted pipeline
Rep ranking
Ordered by attainment %
vs. Prior period
Compare attainment percentages
Output:
quota_attainment: {
team: {
target: number
closed: number
attainment_pct: percentage
run_rate_projection: number
projected_attainment_pct: percentage
gap_to_target: number
vs_prior_period: percentage_change | null
}
by_rep: [
{
name: string
team: string | null
quota: number
closed: number
attainment_pct: percentage
run_rate_projection: number
gap_to_quota: number
rank: integer
vs_prior_period: percentage_change | null
status: "crushing" | "on_track" | "behind" | "at_risk"
}
]
distribution: {
above_100: integer
pct_80_to_100: integer
pct_50_to_80: integer
below_50: integer
}
}
Status thresholds (adjusted for time elapsed in period):
Crushing: >110% attainment (pace-adjusted)
On track: 90-110% attainment (pace-adjusted)
Behind: 60-90% attainment (pace-adjusted)
At risk: <60% attainment (pace-adjusted)
Analysis 2: Activity Metrics
Questions answered: Are reps putting in the work? Who's active and who's coasting?
Metric
How to Calculate
Calls per day (by rep)
Total calls / business days in period
Emails per day (by rep)
Total emails / business days in period
Meetings per week (by rep)
Total meetings / weeks in period
Proposals sent (by rep)
Count in period
Activity-to-meeting conversion
Meetings booked / (calls + emails)
Meeting-to-opportunity conversion
Qualified deals / meetings held
No-show rate
No-shows / meetings booked
vs. Targets
Compare to activity_targets
vs. Prior period
Compare activity volumes
Activity efficiency
Revenue closed per activity unit (calls, emails, meetings)
No human checkpoint after this step — the analysis feeds directly into report generation.
Step 3: Generate Report
Purpose: Transform the raw analysis into two report formats: an executive summary and a detailed diagnostic with rep-level coaching notes. Pure LLM reasoning.
Input Contract
analysis: { ... } # From Step 2
rep_quotas: { ... } # From config
team_target: number # From config
activity_targets: { ... } | null # From config
Executive Summary Format
One page. Numbers and rankings. What a VP Sales needs to see in 60 seconds.

Recommendations Logic
Generate recommendations based on patterns found in the analysis:
Pattern
Recommendation
>50% of reps below 80% attainment
"This is a systemic issue, not individual. Review: targets too high? Market shifted? Product gaps? Pipeline generation insufficient?"
One rep significantly underperforming
"[Rep] is at X% attainment with [specific gap]. Schedule a 1:1 this week to [specific coaching action]."
Team activity below targets
"Activity is X% below target across the team. Re-establish daily rhythm: [specific cadence]. Consider shared accountability (leaderboard, daily standups)."
High activity + low conversion
"Activity volume is there but conversion is low. This is a skills issue, not an effort issue. Focus coaching on [discovery/closing/qualification] — the bottleneck is at [stage]."
Win rate declining period-over-period
"Win rate dropped from X% to Y%. Top new loss reason: [Z]. Investigate: competitor move? Product gap? Positioning drift?"
Pipeline coverage <2x for multiple reps
"X reps have <2x pipeline coverage. They will not hit quota without immediate pipeline generation. Activate [outbound/referral/event] campaigns this week."
Present the executive summary first, then offer the detailed diagnostic:

Adapting to Data Availability
Not every team tracks every metric. The analysis degrades gracefully:
The report depth automatically scales with the period length. A weekly review emphasizes activity and deal movement. A quarterly review emphasizes attainment trends, coaching ROI, and forecast reliability.
Tips
Run this on a consistent cadence. The value compounds. A monthly review reveals trends. A quarterly review reveals who's improving and who's plateauing. Without consistency, you're always flying blind.
Don't just look at quota attainment. A rep hitting quota through one large deal is different from a rep hitting quota through consistent execution. The underlying metrics tell you who is sustainably performing.
Activity metrics without conversion context are useless. "Jordan made 500 calls" sounds impressive until you see 0 meetings booked. Always pair activity with outcomes.
The coaching section is the ROI. The numbers tell you WHAT is happening. The coaching priorities tell you WHAT TO DO about it. A performance review without coaching actions is just a report card.
Watch for the "middle" reps. Top performers and bottom performers get attention. The reps at 70-90% attainment often have the highest coaching ROI — they're close enough that fixing one skill gap puts them over the line.
Forecast accuracy is a team discipline, not individual talent. If everyone's forecasts are off, it's a process problem. Implement deal inspection criteria: "What has to be true for this deal to close this period?"
Compare rep performance within segments, not across them. An SMB AE closing $40K/month and an Enterprise AE closing $40K/month are having very different quarters. Always normalize for role and territory.
Use the trend data. A rep at 60% attainment who was at 40% last month is improving. A rep at 90% who was at 120% last month is declining. Trajectory matters more than a single snapshot.
