Building Your Ranking System in a Spreadsheet
Follow these steps to create a dynamic seller scorecard.
Step 1: Data Collection
Create columns to log data for every order:
| Seller Name | Order Date | QC Pass? (Y/N) | QC Notes | Dispatch Days | Comm. Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ExampleSeller01 | 2023-10-26 | Y | Perfect match | 2 | Fast replies |
Step 2: Create the Scoring Columns
In a separate summary sheet, set up the following for each seller:
| Seller | Speed Score | Accuracy Score | Comm. Score | Overall Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ExampleSeller01 | 9 | 10 | 8 | 9.0 | Reliable for premium items |
Step 3: Calculate the Overall Rank
The Overall Rank=AVERAGE(Speed_Score_Cell, Accuracy_Score_Cell, Comm_Score_Cell)
For a weighted average (e.g., prioritizing accuracy):
=(Speed*0.25 + Accuracy*0.5 + Communication*0.25)
Step 4: Implement and Update
Review your sellers monthly or quarterly. Update their scores based on recent order history. Sort the sheet by the Overall Rank
