The BetterWorks OKR Examples
SALES
2BetterWorks | hello@betterworks.com
In today’s fast-paced workplace, having an accurate measure of
progress towards your goals is critical for knowing what you’ve done,
how you’re doing and what you have to do next. Measurable OKRs not
only keep teams aligned and individuals accountable, but also lead to
higher performance within the company.
Think of this through the lens of fitness wearables: Fitbit users take
43% more steps than non-Fitbit users. Why? Turns out that just making
goal data and progress available to an individual and their peers is
motivational for doing more.
Different jobs call for vastly different types of goals, so we’ve created
specific OKR examples for major roles within Sales. At BetterWorks,
we believe setting good OKRs is easy if you start with the five Goal
Science™ pillars: connected, supported, adaptable, progress-based and
aspirational. As you’ll see, the OKR examples we provide follow these
pillars to ensure that your team’s goals are on the path to success.
To make these examples even more valuable, we’ve divided them
into two categories: objectives and key results. The examples are
not intended to be complete packages of objectives and key results.
Instead, you can choose which cross section of examples is best for
you, or simply use our examples as a guide as you begin setting OKRs.
Chairman of Kleiner Perkins (and BetterWorks board member), John
Doerr, believes that there are three words that make or break goals:
“as measured by”. So a simple rubric for good OKRs is as follows:
I will ________ as measured by ____________.
