sales quota
Monthly revenue target
A sales quota is the target amount of revenue or units a salesperson or team is expected to generate within a set period, typically monthly or quarterly.
Quotas drive compensation structures—meeting or exceeding quota often triggers commissions or bonuses: She hit 120% of quota and earned a substantial bonus.
To make quota is to reach the target; falling short is missing quota.
