Overview
The Increase Sales Revenue template is a performance goal for defining a specific sales outcome, the metric used to verify it, and the checkpoints used to monitor progress. It is designed for goals like growing booked revenue, improving close rates, expanding active customers, or increasing average deal size, with the target written in measurable terms and tied to a due date.
Use this template when a person or team owns a revenue number and needs a clear way to document the target, priority, weight, and alignment to an org objective. It works well for annual planning, quarterly business reviews, and cascading goals from company revenue targets down to team and individual goals. The template also supports SMART goal writing by forcing the user to define success criteria, measurement method, milestones, and ownership.
Do not use it for vague growth ambitions without a clear metric, or for goals that are really project plans in disguise. If the work is about launching a campaign, building a pricing model, or cleaning up CRM data, that is a project goal or task list, not a revenue outcome. This template is strongest when the outcome can be measured in a system of record and reviewed on a regular cadence. It is weaker when the user cannot name the revenue source, baseline, or reporting method.
Standards & compliance context
- Keep revenue targets tied to documented business records so performance reviews can be audited against the same source of truth.
- If the goal is used in employee performance management, ensure the measurement method and success criteria are applied consistently across similarly situated roles.
- When the goal includes customer or account data, use only authorized reporting views and avoid exposing personal information in the goal record.
- If the goal cascades from a corporate objective, document the alignment so the review process reflects the SHRM-style goal hierarchy.
General regulatory context for orientation only — verify current requirements with counsel or the relevant agency before relying on this template for compliance.
How to use this template
- 1. Enter the revenue outcome you want to achieve, such as closed-won revenue, expansion revenue, or conversion improvement, and make sure the title describes the result rather than the work.
- 2. Set the baseline, target value, due date, priority, weight, and goal type so the goal can be compared against other performance goals in the review cycle.
- 3. Add the measurement method, such as a CRM revenue report or finance dashboard, and define success criteria that can be checked without interpretation.
- 4. Break the year into Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 milestones so progress can be reviewed before the final deadline and course corrections can be made early.
- 5. Assign ownership and note the alignment to the org objective so the goal cascades cleanly from company revenue priorities to the individual contributor or team level.
Best practices
- Write the goal title as an outcome, not an activity, so it is clear what result the owner is accountable for.
- Use a measurement method that comes from the system of record, not a manually estimated spreadsheet when a CRM or finance report exists.
- Set a stretch target that is achievable but not guaranteed, because a 100% certain goal is usually too easy to drive performance.
- Match the weight to the strategic importance of the revenue target so critical goals carry more influence in the review.
- Use quarterly milestones even for annual goals so slippage is visible before the end of the cycle.
- Tailor the goal to the role's revenue lever, such as new business, expansion, renewals, or conversion, rather than reusing the same target across all employees.
- Separate the outcome from the tasks needed to reach it, because the template should measure results, not activity volume.
