About this dashboard
The Sales Rep Forecast Dashboard turns a 12-month hiring plan into a bottoms-up view of sales capacity. Review annual bookings, deals closed, attainment against the company target, ending headcount, annual new hires and fully ramped reps at year-end. The summary keeps the key output measures together so sales and finance can review the plan by month and for the full year.
The supporting workbook models 13 cohorts: existing reps plus one cohort for each hire month. Quarterly hires are split into monthly cohort sizes, and each new cohort ramps linearly from 0% to 100% over the configured ramp period. Bookings are calculated from active reps, ramp factor and monthly productive quota, then converted to deals using average ACV.
Use the dashboard to review quarterly hiring decisions, test whether planned capacity supports the annual target and identify the gap between top-down quota and bottoms-up bookings. The headcount check row provides a simple control that the cohort math ties to the hiring plan.
What every dashboard includes
Live formulas, no hardcoded values
Outputs are driven by live formulas, so the workbook updates from its assumptions instead of relying on hardcoded results.
All assumptions in one tab
Inputs are clearly marked in the Assumptions tab and separated from calculations, making it clear what to change and what to leave intact.
Statements always balancing
For integrated-statement models, the balance sheet, cash flow, and supporting schedules tie through properly.
Distinct schedules for clarity
Debt, working capital, taxes, and cash flow can get messy quickly. We group calculations in clear schedules, not across disconnected tabs.
No hidden macros or external links
There are no unexplained external workbook links or macros to undermine auditability or portability.
Changes flow through the model
Update a key driver and see the impact carry through the forecast, financing, and return outputs. We never use hardcoded numbers in formulas.

Created by ex-finance professionals
Hey, I’m Alex and I created Finamodel.
Over my years in the finance industry I kept building the same models over and over again. Same structure, same assumptions, different logo. So I started building frameworks to turn them into clean, reusable templates.
Every model here is one I’d actually use for a client, and I personally vet each one before it goes up.
I’m not an expert in every industry, but I’ve built enough models to know what belongs in one. And when something is completely foreign to me, I reach out to my network for experts to work on our models with us.
Having a template library on hand cuts a first build from hours to minutes.

Frequently asked
What does the Sales Rep Forecast Dashboard show?+
It shows the annual rollup from the cohort forecast: bookings, deals closed, annual target, attainment, ending headcount, annual new hires and fully ramped reps at M12. Monthly bookings and cumulative bookings provide the time-based view behind the summary outputs.
How are new sales cohorts modelled?+
The supporting workbook includes one existing-reps cohort and one cohort for each hire month from M1 through M12. Quarterly hires are divided evenly across the three months of the quarter, then active headcount is carried forward from each cohort’s start month.
How does the productivity ramp affect bookings?+
Each new cohort follows a linear ramp from 0% to 100% productivity over the configured Ramp_Months period. Monthly cohort bookings multiply active reps by the ramp factor and monthly productive quota. Existing reps are treated as fully ramped from M1.
Can the dashboard model attrition?+
Attrition is not included in this version. The Roster matrix retains each cohort’s hires for the remainder of the year. An attrition or survival factor would need to be added to active cohort counts in the supporting workbook before it flows into ramp, bookings and summary outputs.
How is attainment calculated?+
The dashboard compares bottoms-up annual bookings from the cohort schedules with the named annual company target. Changing the hiring plan, ramp months, full quota, attainment or average deal size updates the supporting calculations and the resulting attainment view.
