The what, how and why of custom reports

When you have a particular business goal, you need to track particular business metrics to help you make appropriate decisions towards achieving that goal. And because you have different goals at any given time, with data from different sources impacting your decision-making, it stands to reason that you need special, unique reporting. In other words, custom reports.

Imagine you want to determine the correct course of action (budget to spend, etc.) to take with your sales team and the next big campaign. You probably need to merge information from multiple sources and create a custom report, for example, a report covering sales performance relative to team members over a specific period of time. You could do this in Excel of course, but you might not have the time nor manpower to enter all that sales data manually, then have to import it into a spreadsheet. Nine times out of ten you’d end up with a complicated jumble of figures, a headache and hours disappeared from your life. Don’t do that.
