# What's the Best Way to Set Sales Targets and Track Progress Automatically?

The best way is to store each target as structured data connected to actual closed deals, letting a dashboard calculate progress continuously instead of someone updating a chart by hand. On **Jestor**, this runs through **dashboard** indicators tied to **CRM** data.

Sales targets tracked in a chart that someone updates once a week give the team a delayed sense of progress, rather than knowing where things stand right now.

## What manually tracked targets cost

- A team only finding out weekly how close they are to target
- Time spent manually updating a chart with the latest closed deal totals
- Risk of the chart falling out of sync with actual closed revenue
- No immediate motivation signal when the team is close to hitting a goal

## How automated target tracking works

- Each target, individual or team, is stored as structured data
- A **dashboard** calculates progress continuously against closed deals
- Progress bars or indicators update the moment a new deal closes
- Reps and managers see current standing without a manual update

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Continuous calculation removes the need for manual weekly updates
- Real-time progress creates a stronger sense of momentum for the team
- This keeps targets and actual performance always in sync
- This scales from individual rep targets to company-wide revenue goals

| Manual weekly update      | Continuous progress tracking |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Delayed, effort-intensive | Updates as deals close       |
