1. Feature Overview
Goals is LeadSquared’s sales performance tracking tool, designed to measure and improve business outcomes across your organization. It empowers teams to set, track and achieve their targets, and provides managers with insights into collective and individual performance.
With Goals, you can create company-wide objectives that trickle down your organization’s hierarchy into team-level goals. This gives everyone in your organization clarity on the company’s priorities and their individual contributions.
Achievements are tracked in near real-time* so managers and teams can directly see the impact their work has on each goal. In addition to motivating team members, it helps managers appreciate accomplishments and address the challenges their teams face.
*Note:
- Daily Cycles are updated within 30-60 minutes. Weekly and monthly cycles are updated every 2-4 hours.
- LeadSquared Goals is a paid feature. For more information, or to enable it on your account, please reach out to your account manager or support@leadsquared.com.

4. How It Works
- Set up Organization Hierarchy
LeadSquared Administrators first set up the reporting hierarchy for the organization. - Create a Ruleset
Based on the manager’s requirements, administrators then create Rulesets, where the calculation logic and rules are defined. - Create and Assign Goals to a Team
Next, managers and team leads use the Rulesets to create Goals (they add targets, distribution percentages, etc.) and assign them to their teams. - View and Manage Goals
Finally, managers and sales reps monitor and analyze their performance through visual dashboards and reports, as they work towards achieving their targets.
