4. Performance Metrics: Aggregates KPIs such as response time, satisfaction scores, renewal rates.
5. Financial Summary: Displays revenue streams, contract values, and billing status by client.
6. Reports & Dashboards (Summary): A dynamic dashboard view with charts and key indicators for executive review.

Formulas Required

The template includes several key formulas to automate reporting and analysis:

• Days Since Last Contact = DATEDIF([Last Contact Date], TODAY(), "d"): Automatically calculates days between last interaction and today.
• Response Time (Minutes) = IF(AND([Next Follow-Up] > [Interaction Date]), (NEXT_FOLLOW_UP - INTERACTION_DATE)*1440, 0): Measures time-to-response efficiency.
• SLA Compliance Flag = IF([Delivery Date] >= [Scheduled End Date], "No", "Yes"): Flags missed service commitments.
• Monthly Revenue Forecast = SUMIFS([Revenue Potential], [Onboarding Month], MONTH(TODAY())): Projects monthly client contribution based on historical data.
• Total Active Clients = COUNTIF([Status], "Active"): Real-time count of engaged clients.
• Average Satisfaction Score = AVERAGE([Quality Score]) (filtered by service type).

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance data visualization and alert users to critical information:

• Status Column (Client Master List):
  • Green if "Active"
  • Yellow if "On Hold"
  • Red if "Terminated"
• Last Contact Age:
  • Red if > 90 days since last contact
  • Orange if > 60 days
• SLA Status (Service Delivery Sheet):
