New: Goals in Insights! (gradual rollout) 🎯

Inês Batata

Why?

For the users who already enjoyed the Goals feature in the previous incarnation of Pipedrive's Reports, this needs no explanation -- and you certainly voiced how much you missed them during this transition period, for which we appreciate your patience. 🙏

For the users who already joined us in the Insights era: Goals are an essential element of growth. They give you a clear vision, set a sharp focus, and help to drive time and resources on what matters most, so you get closer to achieving what you need. They're also an important factor of being driven and motivated to keep working further.

And now they're here! 🎉
 

For whom?

• All plans
• Team Goals available for Professional plan only
   

How does it work?

• set Goals for yourself, for other users, for teams and for the entire company
• set a Goal duration, so they’re flexible in time to reflect your working reality
• compare your actual results with your desired results in real time
• use that knowledge to adjust course or confirm that you’ve created a winning strategy
• pre-existing goals will be migrated to Insights automatically
• improvements will be continuously released until late December

Hi @Inês Batata ,
Can we set up multiple activity types combinations rather than a single activity type for an activity goal?

Hello @Inês Batata ,

I'm using the goals beta. and have goals set at for visibility at the Company level that my team users are unable to see.  They are currently only able to see the goals set to their username.  Only our pipedrive admins are currently able to see goals assigned to users and company level. Any suggestions to fix this?

Hello @Inês Batata I have goals that are identified by a custom field on the deal level. e.g. (discovery call booked by X person & how much this deal has progressed in the pipeline) however i cannot see the progress with the current setup since the deal ownership changes through the sales cycle.

Is there any upcoming solutions?

 @Cevat Kusku you can create a Team Goal for this, and include in that team all the salespeople who will handle the deal. Learn more about it here: Team Goals.

Has there been any progress on the multiple activity type goals? this is a crucial goal for our sales team.

Hello, @Inês Batata thanks for the suggestion but it does not help. we have goals based on the person who progressed the the deal and we log this info to a custom deal field as well. Team goals does not help because one person may and will progress different deals for multiple people. Can you please suggest? This is fundamental as a goal.

I see what you mean @Cevat Kusku . Insights only tracks Goals created in the feature itself, not in custom fields, so my simplest suggestion would be to make sure that the person to whom the Goal refers to is the person who is moving the deal.
