What is a Real Estate Agent Sales Ranking Dashboard ? Agent sales ranking dashboards are considered performance benchmarking tools and are used by executives and sales leaders to closely track how each real estate agent is performing. Some of the main functionality in this type of graphical report is that it is parameter driven and displays sales metrics both graphically and as figures (below the chart section seen in the image below). The first chart shows real estate agents ranked by sales amount for the period and with comparison of actual and budget. The second chart shows agents ranked by unit sales. You find an example of this type of graphical report below. Purpose of a Real Estate Agent Sales Ranking Dashboards Real Estate companies use Agent Sales Ranking Dashboards to give leaders an easy way to see high-, mid- and low sales performers in real time. When used as part of good business practices in Sales and Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) departments, a company can improve its agent strategies and increase revenues, and it can reduce the chances that low performers are left without support or other tactical action.
