Sales ·Team Q2 2026
Shorten the sales cycle
1
Reduce average time-to-close from 32 to 20 days
2
Implement new CRM pipeline automation
3
Improve proposal-to-contract time by 50%


Long sales cycles are often the result of process delays, not prospect hesitation. This OKR identifies where time is being lost — overall cycle, CRM friction, and proposal delays — and creates specific targets for each.


Three steps to get started

🎯
Measure your current time-to-close and proposal-to-contract time in week 1. Both require CRM data to calculate accurately.
🔧
CRM pipeline automation should eliminate the manual steps that create the biggest delays — identify those first.
📊
50% improvement in proposal-to-contract time may require e-signature tools or legal process changes. Check dependencies before committing.
