Five key metrics to monitor in your Salesforce dashboard
Every association has unique goals and will prioritize different KPIs. However, there are a few metrics that all associations can benefit from closely monitoring.
Consider exploring the following KPIs in your Salesforce dashboard:
1. Membership growth
The first key metric your associations should closely track is its membership growth rate. This factor will help you understand how your organization is expanding and reaching new members.
Consider comparing growth rates between months or years to understand how and when your association is evolving most.
2. Membership retention
An association’s membership retention rate is also greatly important, as it represents member loyalty and dedication to your mission.
Monitoring retention and turnover can help your organization identify weaknesses and areas within operations that require refining. You can see the changes in the number of members the association has maintained over time.
3. Membership engagement
Associations should closely monitor membership engagement, as well. This KPI helps teams identify what events and activities are useful in leading the organization to success.
Nimble AMS lets your association gain insight into a member engagement strategy, helping you understand how your members participate in events, interact with other members, and take advantage of their membership.
4. Lead-to-member conversion
Another valuable KPI for associations is the lead-to-member conversion rate. This value indicates how many people an organization can move through the member journey and convert into real members.
By keeping a pulse on the conversion rate, your association can improve practices to inspire prospective members to join, ultimately boosting membership growth.
5. Revenue growth
Driving revenue is another valuable KPI for associations. Monitoring profits collected from membership fees, donations, events sponsorships, e-commerce transactions, and more is a great way to track this KPI.
Revenue growth rates will help give your organization the insights it needs to audit its processes and find new ways to offer value to your members.
