# Put the ranks where the crew can see them.

The room asks who is winning, and someone rewrites the board at lunch. A sales leaderboard template is the short rank sheet you download so that rewrite at least has columns. Knockdesk is field sales software, and those ranks can fill from knocks already logged. This free sales leaderboard is a sample crew, not a customer week. The CSV is the sales leaderboard template excel file. The same four columns paste into a sales leaderboard google sheets tab.

## How to fill the ranks the room can read

Keep the sheet thin. A wall or a TV cannot hold ten columns. Open the sales leaderboard template excel CSV in Excel, or choose File then Import in a sales leaderboard google sheets tab, then raise the font before you put that tab on a display.

1. Keep three or four columns if this sheet goes on a TV: rank, rep, and the number.
2. Pick one metric. The sample uses confirmed sales.
3. Type a prize only on the row that earned it. The CSV has a prize cell. The TV preview hides it so the room can read the ranks.
4. Open the CSV in Excel, or choose File then Import in Google Sheets.
5. Raise the font before you put the tab on a display.

## Limits of a spreadsheet

A sheet can hold names. It cannot watch the knock. Two TVs get two versions, and the contest still lives in a chat. Friday then asks who is first, and the tab does not match the turf.

| What you watch | On the sheet | In Knockdesk |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Who is first | Rewritten at lunch | Today, This Week, This Month, All Time |
| A new knock | Someone types it | Ranks fill as reps log activity |
| The TV | A second copy of the tab | The same signed-in Leaderboards page |
| A contest | A chat thread | Games on Compete |
| The seat | A free file | Full desk, Full desk |

## FAQ

### What is a sales leaderboard template?

It is a short rank sheet with a few columns you can download and put on a wall. This page is that file, plus a TV-style preview in the HTML.

### Is this a free sales leaderboard?

Yes. The CSV downloads with no email wall. The sample ranks are an example crew, not a customer week.

### How do I open the sales leaderboard template excel file?

Download the CSV and open it in Excel. Rank, rep, metric, value, and prize are the columns in the file.

### Can I paste it into sales leaderboard google sheets?

Yes. Create a sheet, choose File then Import, and pick the CSV. Raise the font if that tab will sit on a display.

A TV-style view stays readable with rank, name, and the number. The prize still lives in the CSV for the row that earned it.
