# Pick sales leaderboard ideas that name one metric

Sales leaderboard ideas are boards with one metric and one window. These sales leaderboard examples are the rows below, each with a metric. Sales leaderboard design is rank, a name, that metric, and that window, in type large enough to read across the room. A sales leaderboard whiteboard is a wall version of the same columns, not a Knockdesk product name. Knockdesk is field sales software for the board that fills from logged knocks.

## Design it so the room knows what won

Sales leaderboard design fails when two metrics share a board, or when the wall uses different columns than the desk.

**One metric.** Knocks, Conversations, Appointments, or Confirmed sales. Pick one. The sales leaderboard examples above each do that.

**One window.** Today, This Week, This Month, or All Time. Competition is a live game. Custom is a metric and a window an admin sets.

**The wall.** A sales leaderboard whiteboard copies those columns onto a wall. It is not a screen inside Knockdesk, and it does not fill itself.

## Large type is the same row, left open

The leaderboard row is rank, a person, and one score for that window. Large type is that page left open on a display the room can read. There is no separate TV mode and no public link. Do not write a name in so a row looks full.
