Profit margin is one of the KPIs for sales that expounds on the profitability of the sales reps. This KPI is useful when management needs to determine whether to offer promotions or bonuses for each representative, or to determine the amount of the commission, for example. On the other hand, sales reps can use the margin to identify where to allocate their time and resources to be able to deliver the best possible results. It would make sense to compare the results between representatives and set realistic targets that each can outperform while bringing the best value and buck for the department or company.
