Overview

A sales target without a revenue build is an aspiration. This template makes the plan explicit: last year's attainment and this year's targets, market segments and the ideal customer profile, the sales motion, owned activities with a Gantt, the team, a budget that adds up and the five measures reviewed every week.

The sample follows Elmstead Solutions planning $12.0M for 2027, up 11% on $10.8M: $8.4M new and $3.6M expansion, 200 deals at $42,000, a 28% win rate and 3.6x pipeline coverage, with a $2.2M budget. Replace the segments, rebuild the revenue math for your team and keep only measures you will review weekly.

Useful for

  • A sales manager presenting next year's target, coverage and hiring ask to the CEO and finance lead
  • A new head of sales setting a first quota plan with ramp time for new hires built in
  • A founder showing an investor how pipeline, win rate and deal size convert into bookings

What's included

  • Targets scorecard with last year's attainment, new and expansion bookings, coverage and deal size
  • Market segments page with account counts and two personas
  • Sales motion from qualify to close, plus a stalled-deal playbook
  • Action checklist with owners and due dates, and a quarterly Gantt
  • Team directory, budget table with a quarterly chart and a contingency callout

Questions

How do I set a quota that is realistic?

Build it from capacity, not division. Count ramped reps, apply a partial quota for new hires during their ramp, and check that total capacity covers the target at your win rate and coverage.

What pipeline coverage should I plan for?

Most teams plan for 3 to 4 times the target, based on win rate. The sample uses 3.6x with a 28% win rate. Work back from your own win rate rather than copying a rule of thumb.

Are the company and figures real?

No. Elmstead Solutions, its people, email addresses and every figure are fictional sample data. Replace them with your own targets and assumptions before sharing the plan.
