Coming across an image in a sea of data is an overwhelming relief.

Humans can only take so many words, numbers, and equations before forgetting everything we just attempted to digest.

If there's one field that's overflowing with mounds of data, it's sales. Almost everything in the sales realm needs to be simultaneously quantifiable and easy to interpret, which explains the widespread use of sales dashboards.

Sales dashboards come in handy when evaluating performance and making business decisions. Managers look at dashboards to stay updated on the sales team's performance metrics when they are creating sales strategies, crafting compensation plans, awarding bonuses, and identifying areas that need improvement.
