Detailed Activity Report (DAR) for coaching and insights
Learn how to use your Detailed Activity Report to coach your team.
-
Open your Detailed Activity Report email — it arrives in your inbox each morning and covers every note your team created the day before.
- The Executive Summary gives you a brief overview of what your team worked on — who's active, what's moving, and where attention is needed.
- The Signals section highlights the highest-priority items pulled from the day's notes: live opportunities, competitive threats, and urgent customer requests. Each signal includes:
- The customer and the opportunity or risk.
- What action is needed and who owns it.
🔥 Hot tip: The Signals section is your highest-leverage read. If you only have two minutes, skip to Signals and then Follow-Ups.
For each signal, confirm the rep has a follow-up task in place and knows it's a priority.
- The Watch section surfaces emerging risks and situations to monitor. These aren't urgent yet — but they could be and can include:
- Structural changes at an account (ownership shifts, internal restructuring).
- Pricing pressure or a competitor gaining ground.
- Customer behavior that suggests buying patterns are shifting.
Bring these to your next coaching check-in as talking points.
- The Follow-Ups section confirms tasks are assigned and due dates are realistic. Each follow-up shows the rep, the customer, what needs to happen, and when such as:
- Follow-ups clustered on the same date.
- Any rep carrying more open tasks than they can realistically handle.
- Overdue items that may have already been missed.
🔥 Hot tip: Insights in the Daily Activity Report are based on what your team logged. Reps who don't record notes won't show up in the report.
Check in with reps who have a heavy follow-up load for the day.
- Top Note Creators gives insight into field activity. Who's logging the most notes? Who isn't showing up? Low note volume isn't always a problem — but it's worth understanding why.
- Bring what you learned into your coaching conversations. Use the report to ask specific questions "I saw you have an engine overhaul estimate due today — how's that looking?" Recognize wins and flag risks before they become problems.
