Ontraport's Trends Dashboard gives you a bird's-eye view of how your sales, marketing, and business data changes over time. You have colorful trend charts showing what's working and what may need more attention in your strategy.
You can see if you're getting more new leads over time or fewer. You can also know how often contacts engage with your marketing emails. You can also check to see if there's a change in the number of people visiting your sales pages over the past month.
Both your Trends Dashboard and your Metrics Dashboard show you essential information for your business in their way. If you want to see data as snapshots in time, check out your Metrics Dashboard.
The Trends Dashboard is available for all account levels.
