Short answer
Sales activity reporting should show whether the right work is happening, what outcomes are coming from it, and where follow-through is drifting. Good reporting helps leaders coach and prioritize without asking reps to maintain another reporting process.
Activity alone is not the answer
Call counts and email counts can be useful, but they rarely tell the whole story. Leaders also need to see account focus, follow-up quality, outcomes, conversion patterns, and whether the team is staying consistent over time.
Reporting should come from the workflow
The most trustworthy reporting is captured while the work happens. When reps can log outcomes and next steps inside the same motion they use to prospect, leaders get better data without adding another end-of-week chore.
