Targets Set on the 1st. Forgotten by the 10th.
Most sales teams set monthly targets in a meeting, then check results at month end. By then it's too late to course correct. 3Sigma tracks every rep's progress daily — so you always know who's on pace, who needs support, and where the month is heading.
How Target Tracking Works in Most Indian Sales Teams Today
This plays out the same way in real estate offices, insurance branches, education institutes, and NBFC teams every single month.
Manager announces targets in a team meeting or WhatsApp message. Everyone says yes. Nobody writes it down anywhere useful.
Rep thinks they're doing fine. Manager has a gut feeling things are on track. Neither has an actual number.
Manager asks for updates in the group. Reps send back numbers from memory. Some are optimistic. Some don't reply. The picture is unclear.
Target: 20 closings. Actual: 11. Three deals 'almost there' didn't come through. This miss could have been caught two weeks ago.
What Real-Time Target Tracking Looks Like
No manual reporting. No WhatsApp updates. Progress tracked automatically as activity happens.
What the manager sees
Ravi: 15 target / 9 actual
60% of month gone, 60% of target hit — on pace
Priya: 15 target / 4 actual
60% of month gone, 27% of target hit — behind pace
Team total: 75 target / 41 actual
At this pace, expecting 68. Likely to miss by 7
Pipeline: 18 proposals sent

Set Targets the Way Your Business Actually Works
Not all businesses measure success the same way. 3Sigma lets you track what actually matters for your team.
Revenue Targets
Total deal value closed this month. For businesses where deal size varies — real estate, B2B, finance.
Example: ₹1 crore in bookings this month
Deal Count Targets
Number of policies, admissions, or orders closed. For businesses with consistent deal sizes.
Example: 15 insurance policies per advisor
Activity Targets
Calls made, leads contacted, follow-ups completed. Useful for high-volume telecalling teams.
Example: 40 connected calls per day per rep
Branch Targets
Combined target for a branch or team. Each rep sees their contribution to the shared goal.
Example: Pune branch target: 30 closings
Weekly Milestones
Monthly target broken into weekly checkpoints. Catch problems in week 1, not week 4.
Example: 5 closings per week to stay on pace
Product-wise Targets
Different targets for different products. Know which product line is performing and which isn't.
Example: Term: 8 · Health: 5 · Motor: 10 per month
Alerts Before It's Too Late
3Sigma watches the pace, not just the total. If someone is falling behind, you hear about it in week 2 — not at the month-end review.
When: Rep is 30% behind expected pace at mid-month
Then: Manager gets a notification. Rep's row highlighted in the team dashboard.
When: Rep is 50% behind pace with 7 days left
Then: Both manager and rep notified. Manager prompted to schedule a coaching call.
When: Rep hits 100% of monthly target
Then: Celebration notification in the app. Team sees the achievement. Manager prompted to acknowledge publicly.
When: A deal in 'proposal stage' has no activity in 7 days
Then: Rep reminded. Flagged in manager's dashboard. Both can take action before the deal goes cold.
Improvement in target hit rate
When problems are caught, not week 4

Month-end surprises for the manager
"My reps didn't know their own numbers until the end of the month. Now they check the app every morning. We hit target for 8 months in a row after switching to 3Sigma."
Priya Singh
Sales Director, Insurance Company, Mumbai
"The leaderboard is the best thing we did for culture. The moment a rep can see they're in last place, they start moving. Our laziest rep became a top performer within 6 weeks."
Rahul Sharma
Branch Manager, Real Estate Developer, Delhi
"I used to find out at month-end that someone was way behind. Now I find out on day 15 and can actually do something about it. We've become much more consistent as a team."
Amit Verma
Regional Sales Head, NBFC, Bangalore
