How to configure the Matrix Table in Apptivo to effectively utilize quartiles for analyzing financial data within the sales pipeline?

In Apptivo's Intelligence Dashboard, the Matrix Table feature revolutionizes the analysis of financial data by introducing a dynamic tool tailored for sales pipeline evaluation. Central to this capability is the integration of quartiles, a statistical concept that divides a dataset into four equal segments.

The Matrix Table effectively combines two pivotal metrics: deal age and revenue potential, providing a comprehensive snapshot of the sales pipeline. Deal age is categorized into distinct stages - New, Stagnant, and At-risk, facilitating a nuanced understanding of the pipeline's dynamics.

Meanwhile, quartiles categorize deals based on their revenue potential, dividing them into three quartiles: Q1, Q2, and Q3. Each quartile signifies a specific range of revenue potential, with Q1 representing the lowest and Q3 indicating the highest. This segmentation enables sales teams to prioritize actions, pinpoint stagnant deals, and identify high-value opportunities within the pipeline.

By leveraging quartiles within the Matrix Table, sales teams can streamline decision-making processes, target resources effectively, and optimize pipeline health. Ultimately, this approach leads to enhanced conversion rates and increased revenue generation, empowering organizations to achieve their sales objectives with precision and efficiency.
