Volume vs close rate quadrant

Each rep plotted by leads worked across and close rate up, bubble sized by deals won, with team-median lines splitting the chart into four coaching quadrants.

What it is

The one chart that answers 'where does coaching pay best'. Top-right and large is the rep to clone. Bottom-right — plenty of leads, poor conversion — is where coaching has the biggest payback. Top-left converts well on a light book and can safely take more leads. Bottom-left is a lead-quality question before it is a rep question.

The scatter with a 'team median' dashed line, named bubbles of varying size, and a hover card ending 'Coaching here has the biggest payback.' SalesPerformance.tsx. Sample data — no customer information appears here.
How it works
  1. 1X = leads worked, Y = close rate, Z (bubble size) = deals won.
  2. 2A dashed horizontal line marks the team median close rate; a dashed vertical line marks average lead volume.
  3. 3Points are coloured green or red against the median, with the rep's first name labelled above each.
  4. 4The tooltip names the quadrant's meaning explicitly and adds deals won of leads, time to quote, follow-ups per lead, and a provisional flag.
Why we built it

The tooltip comment says why it exists at all: 'The position on the chart is visible. What it MEANS is not.' The four sentences are written for the manager: 'Getting plenty of leads and losing them. Coaching here has the biggest payback' and 'Light book and low conversion — check lead quality before judging the rep.'

The problem
  • Ranked lists collapse effort and effectiveness into one score.
  • Lead-quality problems were blamed on reps and vice versa.

What you get
Lead allocation decisions get a defensible picture behind them.
The highest-payback coaching target is visually obvious.
