The five reports an FM sales desk should open every week
Facility management is an operations business sold on a commercial contract, and the reporting that helps is the reporting that connects the two. A chart of monthly enquiries tells a sales head nothing. Knowing which sites expire in ninety days, which were priced below the portfolio, and which have absorbed two extra attendants since signature tells them what to do on Monday.
Contract renewal ageing
Every live site listed by months to expiry with annual value, scope mix and account owner. It decides the senior visit schedule for the quarter. A bad number is a group of expiries inside sixty days with no renewal conversation logged, which is how a mobilised contract becomes a competitive tender you have to win twice.
Enquiry to site walkthrough
The proportion of enquiries that reach a proper walkthrough covering floor plates, washroom counts, plant rooms and shift patterns. It decides how survey time is allocated and how hard to qualify. A bad number is a stream of enquiries from one consultant relationship that never gets walked, which usually means those enquiries are landing with someone who has no capacity to act on them.
Walkthrough to proposal turnaround
Hours from completed survey to a priced proposal with the client. It decides whether estimation needs more capacity. A bad number is a long tail of proposals taking a week while the median looks respectable. That pattern points at one person, one missing input or one site that nobody wanted to price.
Rate per square foot and scope mix
Realised rate per square foot and cost per deployed person, segmented by client type and scope composition. It decides pricing policy and where approval authority should sit. A bad number is a widening spread between estimators on comparable sites, which means pricing has become personal judgement rather than policy.
Churn reasons and scope creep
Why sites were lost at renewal, read alongside the manpower and services added after signature. It decides the account management model and the repricing agenda. A bad number is rate recorded as the reason for most churn while the scope creep report shows those same contracts absorbed extra headcount for two years. Those two facts are the same story told from different ends.
