Targets

Prev Next

Targets provide RevOps and Sales Ops teams with a comprehensive tool for dynamic target setting. Use formulas, historical data, and manual inputs to create realistic targets and adjust for key factors such as ramping reps and market potential.

New to targets? Start with Get started with targets for the full path from an empty plan to a refined, maintained set of targets.

Set targets in different modules

Assign targets at the team, territory, or product level. The functionality works similarly across all modules:

  • Teams Module: Set targets associated with individuals, such as sales reps with quotas. Assign targets to team members to define the individual responsible for hitting that target.

  • Territories Module: Set targets against a region or market segment. For example, when you use territory composition data, such as potential, to ensure targets are realistic.

  • Products Module: Set targets against product lines or SKUs. For example, if you introduce a new SKU and you want to give a specific target for it.

Defining targets

There are two ways to define your targets in Fullcast:

  • Formula: Use historical data and projections to calculate targets. For example, you can take last year's total bookings and multiply them by 1.3 to reflect a 30% growth target.

  • Manual Input: If your finance team gives you a specific target to hit, manually enter that figure into the system.

Apply historical data from previous years to smooth out fluctuations and create a more accurate forecast over time.

Person and territory quotas

Set up your quotas against a person or a territory:

  • Person-level targets: Assign quotas to individuals (for example, an enterprise AE with a $1.2 million quota). If you set quotas against a person, build out and organize your teams to mirror the organizational structure. Separate your sales roles from other departments and further break down sales into regions and segments.

  • Territory-level targets: A territory's quota is based on the potential of the accounts within it (for example, account management based on renewal availability) and the assigned representative assumes that quota.

In a Teams hierarchy, you can alternatively assign target ownership by title instead of by role. See Roles and titles: when to use each for guidance on when to use each.

Target types

  • Scalar: A set of numbers that measures your progress to reach your goal.

  • Timeseries: A specific revenue goal or objective that is distributed over a period of time.

Split types

  • Split: divides the credit for a deal among the people who worked it. If two people each carry a 50% split, each counts 50% of the deal value toward their own target.

  • Overlay: gives full credit toward target attainment to every eligible payee; if two people worked a deal, each receives 100% credit of the deal value toward their target.

The split percentage comes from a configurable source, typically your CRM opportunity split.

Auto Recalculate

  • Auto Recalculate off: The target value stays as you set it until you recalculate it yourself. This is the default.

  • Auto Recalculate on: The target recalculates on its own whenever a referenced target, a formula input, or an assignment it depends on changes.

Adjustments

Adjustments are optional changes you layer on top of a target's goal and schedule. There are two types:

  • Ramp Profile: Reduces an individual's target during their ramp-up period, based on a ramp profile and their coverage start date.

  • Manual Adjustment: Increases or decreases a target's value for specific nodes without changing the underlying goal or schedule.
