Want to set activity goals for your sales reps to meet? Look no further! With Nutshell, you can set up activity quotas for select sales reps, making sure they are completing enough phone calls, meetings, product demos, and more.

Activity quotas are a great way to boost your sales reps' productivity and keep the team on track to make sure they're always selling! Be sure to check out our Activity report article to see how to report on logged activities in Nutshell.

FAQ

Can I retroactively edit a sales quota for previous time periods?

No, you cannot change a quota for a month that has passed. Nutshell preserves your data history in reports, and changing a past quota would skew reporting.

I changed my quotas mid-month. Why don't my numbers immediately reflect those changes?

As a best practice, quotas should be edited prior to the beginning of a new time period. Nutshell will recalculate, or pro-rate, the remainder of your month based on the changes you made. At the beginning of a new quota period, Nutshell will fully reflect your changes.
