Using Oracle Sales to Track Your Sales as an Individual Contributor
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
My organization uses Oracle Sales to record all sales order data. This include gross sales amounts, any adjustments, order entry details and historical data. This tool allows salespeople to track weekly, monthly, & yearly totals as well as progress on total quota. Being a quota carrier, this system is of daily use to monitor sales progress and ultimately how much much we earn.
Pros
- Weekly/monthly/annual sales tracking
- Commission calculations
- Historical sales orders & data
- Managing liability and deals in implementation
- Sales analysis and trends
Cons
- The platform could be more user friendly and easier for a beginning to use
- Real time updates to data
- Smoother user interface
- Added charts and graphics
Likelihood to Recommend
Oracles Sales is very good from a tracking standpoint. You are easily able to see your results month to month and the amount of commission earned on those sales. Data is definitely the system's strong suit. It also allows you to dive into the details of each sale although less user friendly and a bit confusing to decipher at times. If you are looking for a fancy, graphic-heavy interface, this may not be the program you are looking for as it focuses on numbers.
