Short answer
If you manage contact cards for a sales team, you need centralized governance plus clear performance metrics. The goal is consistency, faster follow-up, and measurable pipeline impact.
How fleet management works
A fleet model standardizes contact-card creation and tracking across reps:
- Standard templates for brand and required fields
- Role-based access for reps, managers, and admins
- Shared analytics for scan, contact-share, and follow-up outcomes
- CRM handoff so leads move into active sales workflows
What to measure
Track a small set of defensible metrics first:
- Cards shared per rep and per event
- Unique engaged contacts
- Follow-up completion rate within SLA
- Meeting-booked rate from card interactions
- Pipeline created and closed-won attribution where available
Use trend comparisons over fixed periods (for example, 30/60/90 days) instead of isolated snapshots.
Operating model for managers
- Define one naming and tagging convention for all cards and campaigns
- Set ownership for data quality and CRM mapping
- Review weekly team dashboards for leading indicators
- Run monthly retro to adjust scripts, event strategy, and follow-up playbooks
Limits and caveats
- Attribution is directional unless your CRM and marketing systems are tightly integrated.
- Over-collecting fields hurts conversion and may raise compliance risk.
- Team comparisons should account for territory and event mix.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best first KPI for a new team rollout? Follow-up completion rate within your target SLA.
How many metrics should we track at launch? Five to seven operational metrics is usually enough.
Can I compare reps fairly with card analytics alone? Not fully. Use card analytics with context such as territory, account type, and opportunity stage.
