Create sales goals

With goals, managers can create user-specific quotas for their sales and services teams based on templates provided by HubSpot. Managers can then assign these goals at the user, team, or pipeline level. Learn how to create custom goals from scratch.

• Sales Hub and Service Hub Starter and Professional provide access to only the Revenue goal measure. 
• Sales Hub Enterprise provides access to the Calls logged, Deals created, Meetings booked, and Revenue goal measures.
• Service Hub Enterprise provides access to the Average ticket resolution time, Average ticket response time, Revenue, and Tickets closed goal measures.

Please note: you must be a user with Forecast permissions in order to create, edit, and delete goals in your account. In order to be assigned a goal, however, you must have either a paid Sales Hub Starter, Professional, or Enterprise seat, or a Service Hub Enterprise seat.

Report on sales goals

You can create single-object deal reports that track revenue goals to measure your impact over time. HubSpot provides a set of standard reports in the report library, and Professional or Enterprise users can customize these reports or create a custom report.

When creating a revenue goal report, keep in mind the following:

• You can add sales goals to a report by adjusting the Display options in the report builder. The report must be a single-object deal report that includes a date property. The report must also use the Line or Area chart type.
  
  
• When using sales goals in custom single-object reports, it's recommended to include a filter for a specific pipeline associated with the goal. Otherwise, all pipelines will be factored into the report.
• Revenue goal is calculated as follows: (goal revenue / total number of days in the selected date range) x number of days so far in the selected date range.
  • For example, if the date range in your report is set to This month, the calculation would be: (goal revenue / total number of days in the month) x number of days in the month so far.

You can manually add goals to reports created with the advanced custom report builder. A monthly goal can be added in the custom report builder for the following chart types:

• Vertical bar, Line, and Area charts with a date property on the X-axis.
• Horizontal bar charts with a date property on the Y-axis.

If your report meets one the above criteria, you can add a monthly goal to the report by clicking Chart Settings in the Configure tab of the report builder. 

Please note: it is not possible to report on team goals.
