Dashboard

Start your day knowing which reps need attention and what changed in your pipeline.

The SMVue Dashboard is where you start your day. It shows you which reps need coaching first, what's changed in your pipeline, and a short brief written from your own data to point your attention.

Dashboard Overview

The Dashboard is divided into several key sections, each designed to answer a specific question:

Daily Brief

Question: "What should I focus on today?"

The Daily Brief is a short, automatically written summary of where your team stands:

  • Which reps need attention
  • Key risks in your pipeline
  • Recent wins and losses to celebrate or learn from

How It Works:

  • Written from your team's recent data (deals, activity, stage movements)
  • Refreshes when significant changes occur in your pipeline
  • Prioritized so the most important items come first

What Makes a Good Brief:

  • Tells you what to do, not just what happened
  • Prioritized by urgency and impact
  • Written in plain language

Focus Queue

Question: "Which rep should I coach first?"

The Focus Queue ranks your team members by who needs attention most:

Attention Scoring: Each rep is scored across a few dimensions:

  • Performance — KPI actuals against targets
  • Coaching — 1:1 cadence and recency, action-item follow-through
  • Data Hygiene — how complete each rep keeps their deal records
  • Development — skill ratings and progress

How to Use It:

  1. Review the top 3-5 reps in the queue
  2. Click a rep to see their full profile
  3. Review the recommended coaching focus
  4. Schedule a 1:1 or create action items

Color Coding:

  • 🔴 Red — Immediate attention needed (high risk)
  • 🟡 Yellow — Watch closely (moderate concern)
  • 🟢 Green — On track (standard cadence)

Up Next Meetings

Question: "What 1:1s do I have today?"

See your scheduled 1:1 meetings with quick prep links:

  • Meeting time and rep name
  • Meeting type (Weekly 1:1, Pipeline Review, etc.)
  • Prepare button to generate meeting prep
  • Join link (if calendar integration connected)

Best Practice:

  • Prepare at least 30 minutes before each 1:1
  • Review prep notes before the meeting starts
  • Update prep if major changes occur

Setup Progress

Question: "What do I still need to configure?"

Track your onboarding progress:

  • ✅ CRM connected
  • ✅ Calendar connected
  • ✅ Organization configured
  • ✅ Team members added
  • ✅ Quotas set (optional)

Once all items are complete, this section disappears.

What Changed

Question: "What's new in my pipeline?"

Recent delta items showing changes in the last 24-48 hours:

  • New Deals — Deals created recently
  • Stage Changes — Deals that moved (forward or backward)
  • Won Deals — Closed-won opportunities to celebrate
  • Lost Deals — Closed-lost opportunities to learn from
  • Key Activities — Important meetings, emails, calls

Why It Matters:

  • Helps you spot trends before they become problems
  • Identifies coaching moments (why did that deal move backward?)
  • Keeps you informed without checking CRM constantly

Key Metrics Explained

Pipeline Health

  • Total Pipeline Value — Sum of all open deals
  • Number of Open Deals — Count of active opportunities
  • Stale Deals — Deals with no activity in 30+ days
  • At-Risk Deals — Deals flagged by a daily risk score built from conversation and activity signals

Quota Attainment

  • Target — Rep's quota for current period
  • Actual — Current closed-won revenue or deals
  • Forecast — Directional projection based on pipeline (a planning aid, not a board-grade number)
  • % to Goal — Progress toward quota

Win/Loss Tracking

  • Won Deals — Closed-won count and value
  • Lost Deals — Closed-lost count and value
  • Win Rate — Won / (Won + Lost) as percentage
  • Average Deal Size — Mean deal value

Activity Metrics

  • Meetings — Number of meetings logged
  • Calls — Number of calls logged
  • Emails — Number of emails logged
  • Activities per Deal — Average touches per opportunity

How the Daily Brief Works

The Daily Brief is written automatically from your team's data:

What It Considers:

  1. Recent changes (deals, activities, stage movements)
  2. Each rep's current state (pipeline, quota progress, win rate)
  3. Your coaching history (what you've focused on before)

Staying Current:

  • The brief refreshes when significant changes occur in your pipeline
  • It reflects what's changed since the last time it was written

Best Practices

Start Your Day with the Dashboard

  1. Read the Daily Brief first thing
  2. Review the Focus Queue to prioritize
  3. Check What Changed for recent activity
  4. Prepare for today's 1:1s

Use the Dashboard to Drive Coaching

  • Schedule 1:1s with reps in the Focus Queue (red/yellow)
  • Ask Sales Coach for more detail on specific reps
  • Create action items to follow up on what you find
  • Celebrate wins in What Changed with the team

Don't Over-Optimize

  • Green reps still need coaching (just less frequently)
  • Not every change requires immediate action
  • Use Dashboard as a guide, not a script

Update Regularly

  • Dashboard refreshes automatically when you navigate
  • Manual refresh available if needed
  • CRM data syncs automatically via webhooks, plus scheduled and manual resync, so it's typically up to date within a few minutes

Troubleshooting

Daily Brief Not Generating

Issue: Dashboard shows "Generating..." indefinitely

Solutions:

  • Wait 30-60 seconds (generation can take time for large teams)
  • Refresh the page
  • Check that CRM sync is complete (Settings > Integrations)
  • Contact support if issue persists over 2 minutes

Focus Queue Seems Wrong

Issue: Rep's attention score doesn't match your intuition

Explanation:

  • The score weighs several factors you might not see at a glance
  • Data quality issues can skew scores

Solutions:

  • Click the rep to see a detailed breakdown of their score
  • Review their pipeline, quota, and activity levels
  • Update quotas or deal close dates for more accurate scoring
  • Contact support to understand specific scoring factors

Metrics Not Updating

Issue: Dashboard shows outdated data

Solutions:

  • Check CRM sync status (Settings > Integrations)
  • Click Sync Now to trigger a resync
  • Wait for the next scheduled sync to bring in recent changes
  • Refresh your browser to clear cached data

Missing Team Members

Issue: Not all reps appear in Focus Queue

Solutions:

  • Check that team members are active (not archived)
  • Verify team members have a manager assigned (you)
  • Ensure team members own at least one deal in CRM
  • Go to Team page and click Import from CRM to add missing reps
