  1. Which of the following is an example of a lagging indicator in sales analytics?

    Answer: Closed revenue for the quarter

    Closed revenue is a lagging indicator because it reflects outcomes that have already occurred rather than predicting future performance.

  2. A sales ops analyst is building a report to show 'time to first response' for inbound leads. What business problem does this metric address?

    Answer: Speed of follow-up and its impact on conversion

    Time to first response is critical because research shows faster follow-up dramatically improves the odds of converting inbound leads.

  3. What does a high 'churn rate' in customer data signal to a sales enablement team?

    Answer: Existing customers are canceling or not renewing at a high rate

    High churn means customers are leaving, indicating potential issues with product fit, onboarding, or customer success handoff.

  4. When building a sales analytics dashboard for frontline reps, which design principle should take priority?

    Answer: Display only actionable metrics relevant to daily rep activities

    Dashboards for reps should surface only the metrics they can act on daily, reducing noise and increasing adoption.

  5. A sales team wants to understand which content assets accelerate deal closure. What type of analysis should they run?

    Answer: Content attribution analysis tied to deal outcomes

    Content attribution analysis links specific assets to deal stages and outcomes, revealing which content drives faster closes.

  6. What is the main risk of relying solely on CRM data for sales analytics?

    Answer: CRM data quality depends on rep input and may be incomplete or inaccurate

    CRM data is only as accurate as what reps enter, making data hygiene and consistent logging critical for reliable analytics.

  7. Which statistical concept helps sales analysts understand how much individual rep performance deviates from the team average?

    Answer: Standard deviation of quota attainment

    Standard deviation quantifies the spread of rep performance around the mean, identifying outliers and consistency of the team.
