• {{metrics}}: The specific performance metrics to benchmark (e.g., conversion rate, response time, revenue per rep).
• {{industry}}: The industry or sector for relevant benchmarks (e.g., SaaS, retail, healthcare).
• {{data_source}}: Where your performance data comes from (e.g., CRM, spreadsheets, internal reports).

Instructions

2. Identify relevant industry benchmarks for the given team type and industry, using credible sources if available.
3. Compare the provided metrics against these benchmarks, noting where the team exceeds, meets, or falls short.
4. Highlight the most significant gaps and prioritize them by potential impact.
5. Suggest specific, actionable improvements for each major gap.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Executive Summary, Benchmark Comparison (table), Key Gaps, and Recommended Actions. Use clear, concise language and include quantitative comparisons where possible.
