Instructions for the User
Manager Instructions:
- Update the Team Directory with current marketing staff and assign each a unique ID.
- In Habit Definitions, confirm which habits are active this quarter — adjust targets as needed.
- Each team member must log their habit completion daily before EOD (use mobile Excel or shared desktop).
- Review Dashboard every Monday: Identify team members with below 70% compliance and investigate via Notes column.
- Use the "Performance Metrics" sheet to correlate high-habit-compliance individuals with campaign success rates (e.g., lead gen, CTR). Look for patterns — e.g., “Those completing daily LinkedIn engagement generate 43% more inbound leads.”
- Do NOT edit formulas — only input data into designated cells. Protect sheets except Habit Log.
