Evaluating sales based on a timeframe is helpful to keep track of month-on-month, weekly or annual trends of a product’s performance.


These reports help you know if contact generation for your product is healthy for the current quarter or, if there is any considerable growth in the number of deals closed for this month. You can comfortably compare the growth trends across months, weeks, quarters or even on a day-to-day basis with these reports.


You can pull out reports using any of the time-based fields like :

Created at, Updated at, First contacted, Last contacted, First assigned at, and so on.
