    A sales quota is a sales goal set for a product, division, or sales representative over a specific period of time. Quotas serve as performance standards and motivate salespeople to direct their efforts. They can be set by product, salesperson, territory, and help management oversee sales. Quotas should be SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound). Organizations use different types of quotas like sales volume, sales budget, sales activity, and combination quotas depending on their structure, competition, and business. Methods of setting quotas include past sales, forecasts, executive judgment, and salesperson input to determine appropriate goals.
