Basic Metrics to report on Pipeline Performance

There are a variety of Basic HubSpot CRM Metrics available in Databox that allow you to analyze your Pipeline Performance. This includes "Deals Won by Pipeline," "Deals Created by Pipeline," "Open Deals Amount (by Stage/Pipeline)," and "Open (unclosed) Deals by Stage/Pipeline." 

To view these Metrics in Databox, navigate to  Metrics > Metrics Library and select HubSpot CRM from the Data Source drop-down. Enter "Pipeline" in the Search bar to view all Pipeline-specific Metrics. 

Add any significant Pipeline Metrics to your Metrics screen by hovering over the logo in the top right of the Metric block and clicking  + Add to my Metrics

These Basic Metrics are best to report on the performance of open Deals in your Pipeline. Specifically, the Metrics "Open (unclosed) Deals by Stage by Pipeline" and "Open Deals Amount by Stage by Pipeline" will allow you to report on this data. 

From the Designer, drag-and-drop a Pipeline or Funnel visualization from the Visualization Types list. In Datablock Settings, select HubSpot CRM as the Data Source. Select Open (unclosed) Deals by Stage by Pipeline or Open Deals Amount (by Stage/Pipeline) as the Metric

This will expose the Dimension field, where you can select the specific Deal Stage. 

Pro Tip: To filter out a specific Pipeline, type the Pipeline Name in the  Dimension drop-down. 

Click  + Add Row to select the next Deal Stage to populate your Pipeline. Continue this process until you've added all open Deal Stages from your Pipeline.

Custom Metrics to report on Pipeline Performance

Custom Pipeline Performance Metrics can be built using the Metric Builder for HubSpot CRM

Custom Metrics may also be created to report on the performance of open Deals using the Metric Builder for HubSpot CRM. However, these Custom Metrics require a Date Field, which often makes it difficult to capture all open Deals. 

Custom Metrics are best to report on New Deals or Closed Deals from your HubSpot CRM portal. To report on New Deals, you would choose Create Date as the Date Field. To report on Closed Deaals, you would choose Close Date as the Date Field

Calculated Metrics to report on Pipeline Performance

It's often valuable to report on conversion rates between stages when analyzing Pipeline Performance. These conversion rates are automatically calculated and displayed when using Pipeline and Funnel Visualization Types. 

These Metrics can be manually created using Data Calculations

Data Calcultions is available on the Professional and higher plans. Request a trial of Data Calculations by following these steps.


For example, to calculate the Conversion Rate between Deal Stages called "Contact Made" and "Proposal Sent" in your Sales Pipeline, you can use the equation "Open (unclosed) Deals by Stage by Pipeline" with "Proposal Sent" selected as the Dimension, divided by "Open (unclosed) Deals by Stage by Pipeline" with "Contact made" selected as the Dimension.

Custom Metrics to report on Sales Rep Performance

Custom Metrics can be built using the Metric Builder for HubSpot CRM to report on Deal Owners. This Metric Builder only syncs data related to Deals, so other Performance Metrics are not accessible through the Metric Builder. 

Metric Builder is available on the Professional and higher plans. Request a trial of Metric Builder by following these steps.


For example, to create a Custom Metric to track the number of New Deals assigned to Owner "Tory Sher" split up by Channel, you would select Count of Deals as the Metric, Channel as the Dimension, Create Date as the Date Field, and Deal Owner contains Tory Sher as the Filter. 

You can also create a Custom Metric to track the number of New Deals in the Sales Pipeline split up by Deal Owner. To do this, you would select Count of Deals as the Metric, Deal Owner as the Dimension, Create Date as the Date Field, and Pipeline contains Sales Pipeline as the Filter. 

Calculated Metrics to report on Sales Rep Performance

It's often valuable to report on close rates when analyzing Sales Rep Performance. These conversion rates are automatically calculated and displayed when using Pipeline and Funnel Visualization Types. 

These Metrics can be manually created using Data Calculations

Data Calculations  is available on the Professional and higher plans. Request a trial of Data Calculations by following these steps.

For example, to calculate the Close Rate of your entire team, you can use the equation "Deals Closed Won" divided by "Calls." 

You may also want to report on the Close Rate for specific Sales Reps. 

Rather than creating a new Calculated Metric for each Sales Rep, you can use the equation "Closed Won by Owner" divided by "Calls by Owner" without selecting a specific Dimension for either. 

The resulting Calculated Metric will report on "Close Rate by Owner." 

To view the Close Rate of a specific Sales Rep, you will then need to set up your Datablock in a way that prompts you to select a specific Dimension (Owner). Learn how to select a specific Owner on a Datablock here

How to report on Projected Closed Won Amount

You may want to report on projected revenue from your HubSpot CRM pipeline. 

Each Deal Stage in HubSpot CRM has a probability associated with it. This probability indicates the likelihood of closing Deals marked in that Deal Stage. 

To view the "Win Probability" of each Deal Stage in HubSpot, navigate to Settings > Sales > Deals and click Edit next to the Pipeline you'd like to view probabilities for. 

In order to accurately forecast revenue, you will need to look at the current state of Deals in your pipeline along with the associated probabilities. To do this, you will need to use Data Calculations

Metric Builder is available on the Professional and higher plans. Request a trial of Metric Builder by following these steps.

First, you'll want to create a new Calculated Metric for each Deal Stage. To do this, start by using the HubSpot CRM Metric "Open Deals Amount by Stage by Pipeline." Select your first Deal Stage. 

Multiply this by the probability associated with the selected Deal Stage. 

This Calculated Metric is now set to show the projected Closed Won Amount for Deals in this Deal Stage. 

Repeat this process for all Deal Stages in your Pipeline. Once you have a Calculated Metric for each Deal Stage, you can add them together to create a new Calculated Metric that reports on "Projected Closed Won Amount" for your full Pipeline.
