Rep Activity Consistency
Description
Purpose of Analysis
Effective coaching requires more than outcome-based metrics such as revenue or closed deals. To understand how and why reps perform differently, managers need visibility into day-to-day behaviors such as outreach volume, consistency, and engagement patterns.
The TrueAI platform captures rep activity signals that allow coaching teams to distinguish between:
- inconsistent execution,
- skill-related gaps,
- and structural or pipeline-driven constraints.
This analysis answers:
Which reps show inconsistent activity patterns over time, and where coaching intervention may be required?
Query
Query Intent
This query analyzes rep activity over time to identify patterns of inconsistency. By aggregating activity counts by rep and time period, it highlights variability that may indicate:
- uneven execution,
- burnout,
- lack of process adherence,
- or early warning signs of underperformance.
The query is intended to support coaching conversations by grounding them in observable behavior rather than outcomes alone.
SELECT
u.rep_id,
u.rep_name,
DATE_TRUNC('week', a.activity_date) AS activity_week,
COUNT(*) AS total_activities,
COUNT(CASE WHEN a.activity_type = 'call' THEN 1 END) AS call_activities,
COUNT(CASE WHEN a.activity_type = 'email' THEN 1 END) AS email_activities,
STDDEV(COUNT(*)) OVER (
PARTITION BY u.rep_id
) AS activity_variance
FROM rep_activities AS a
LEFT JOIN users AS u
ON a.rep_id = u.rep_id
GROUP BY
u.rep_id,
u.rep_name,
DATE_TRUNC('week', a.activity_date)
ORDER BY
activity_variance DESC;
Sample Output
In this example, some reps demonstrate consistent weekly activity levels, while others show significant variability. High variance suggests inconsistent execution rather than a steady operating rhythm.
| rep_name | activity_week | total_activities | call_activities | email_activities | activity_variance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rep A | 2024-10-07 | 42 | 18 | 24 | 15.3 |
| Rep A | 2024-10-14 | 12 | 4 | 8 | 15.3 |
| Rep B | 2024-10-07 | 31 | 15 | 16 | 2.1 |
| Rep B | 2024-10-14 | 29 | 14 | 15 | 2.1 |
| Rep C | 2024-10-07 | 8 | 3 | 5 | 18.7 |
| Rep C | 2024-10-14 | 41 | 20 | 21 | 18.7 |
How to Interpret the Results
activity_variancemeasures how consistent a rep’s activity levels are across time.- High variance indicates uneven execution and may warrant coaching attention.
- Consistently low activity may point to pipeline constraints or enablement issues rather than effort.
- Combine with outcome metrics to avoid over-coaching high-performing but efficient reps.
Coaching Application
This analysis supports coaching by:
- identifying reps who may benefit from process reinforcement,
- separating behavior issues from skill or opportunity gaps,
- enabling data-backed coaching conversations focused on execution consistency.
