## Engage Your Team With This Weekly Sales Report

At a high-growth startup, sales operations and processes can often take a back seat to closing deals and growing the business. Regardless of the resources you have available, it is vital to be able to “[self-manage](https://labs.openviewpartners.com/sample-daily-report-to-your-manager/#.WejDIxNSwn1)” and lay the groundwork for a strong sales process and culture.

With that being said, we put together an Update Template that can be used by the first sales hire or by a team of 100 BDRs.

Keep in mind the metrics in the template are suggestions and can be tailored to your organization’s needs ( [check out these 3 other metrics to track](/content/blog/3-metrics-track-start-sales-enablement/index.html)). With that being said, there are a few things to keep in mind when putting together a reporting template for your sales team:

- Acknowledge the report, good or bad, to give your reps the motivation to send reports moving forward.
- [Build a cadence](/content/blog/index.html) with your individual reps and keep updates succinct as well as comparable (make sure to share the same metrics in every report).
- Just do it! Get feedback and iterate. Make sure to send over feedback to continue to tailor the format and content.
