When & Why to Use This Skill
The Goal Tracking Expert is a self-improving Claude skill designed for advanced Customer Value Management (CVM) and sales funnel optimization. It automates the monitoring of weekly, monthly, and quarterly sales goals by analyzing pipeline health and stage entry metrics. By integrating with CRM data (like HubSpot) and applying sophisticated diagnostic patterns, it identifies performance bottlenecks and provides actionable micro-steps to ensure sales targets remain on track.
Use Cases
- Automated Sales Performance Dashboards: Use the /cvm-goals command to instantly generate weekly or monthly reports on pipeline health and goal attainment status.
- Sales Funnel Bottleneck Analysis: Identify exactly where deals are stalling by comparing stage entry metrics against established full-funnel patterns.
- Proactive Remediation with Micro-Actions: Automatically trigger specific corrective tasks (micro-actions) when a sales stage is flagged as 'at risk' or 'critical'.
- Data-Driven Sales Coaching: Leverage archetype analysis and composite scores to provide sales representatives with personalized insights and performance improvements.
- Continuous Process Optimization: Utilize the self-improving learning loop to document new success patterns and prevent recurring calculation errors in sales reporting.

Goal Tracking Expert
Self-improving expert for CVM (Customer Value Management) goal tracking, pipeline metrics, and sales funnel analysis.
Quick Reference
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Full Funnel Pattern | 15/6/4/4/3/2/1/1 |
| Weekly → Monthly | × 4.3 |
| Weekly → Quarterly | × 13 |
| Quarterly Distribution | Q1=15%, Q2=23%, Q3=28%, Q4=34% |
Core Decision Rules
Stage Metric Selection
IF metric = "new_leads" → Use Contacts API (NOT Deals)
IF metric = pipeline stage → Use hs_v2_date_entered_[stageid] property
NEVER count deals currently IN stage → ALWAYS count deals that ENTERED stage in period
Goal Status Thresholds
IF actual/target >= 90% → on_track (green)
IF actual/target >= 70% → behind (yellow)
IF actual/target >= 50% → at_risk (orange)
IF actual/target < 50% → critical (red)
Red Stage Response
IF stage shows red → Look up micro-actions in 02-micro-actions-lookup.md
IF Stage 1 green + Stages 2-4 red → Outreach bottleneck (not sourcing)
Execute next incomplete micro-action → Log to HubSpot → Re-check

ADHD Execution Loop
When /cvm-goals shows red stages:
1. /cvm-goals weekly → See dashboard with red indicators
2. Find red stage → Look up micro-actions (02-micro-actions-lookup.md)
3. Execute single micro-action → Log to HubSpot
4. Repeat until stage turns green or WIP limit reached
Diagnostic Patterns
| Pattern | Diagnosis | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 green, Stages 2-4 red | Outreach bottleneck | Focus on follow-ups, not sourcing |
| All stages red | Systemic issue | Check data integrity, review archetype |
| Stage 1 red only | Lead generation gap | Brand Scout, prospecting |
| Late stages red | Conversion issue | Review proposals, follow-up cadence |
