How to Monitor SDR Team Performance in Knock
As a sales leader, you need to ensure your SDR team is responding fast, focusing on qualified leads, and consistently driving pipeline. Knock gives you real-time visibility into rep performance and helps you spot when to step in and support.
What You Can Track with Knock
With Knock, SDR managers can:
- Monitor response times for every lead conversation
- See if reps are spending time on unqualified leads
- Drill into specific conversations for quality review
- Join live chats if a rep needs support
- Identify which reps are generating the most pipeline and improving over time
How to Monitor SDR Performance Step-by-Step
Step 1: Join the Knock Knock Updates Slack Channel
This is your real-time feed of all incoming lead conversations.
For each new lead, you’ll see:
- The assigned rep (based on routing rules)
- Enriched lead data: name, role, company, size, industry, location, and intent score
- CRM status: is the lead already in your system?
- The actual message(s) the lead sent to your team
Step 2: Review Response Times and Rep Engagement
You can drill into any conversation thread in Slack to:
- See how long it took a rep to respond
- View who responded (multiple reps may join depending on your routing setup)
- Monitor the quality and tone of the conversation
Step 3: Ensure No Lead Goes Unanswered
Knock automatically flags conversations that go unanswered:
- If no one responds within 3 minutes, the thread is highlighted in yellow and pinned in the Slack channel bookmarks
- Once a rep replies, the conversation is automatically un-pinned
- You can also run
/find-lead
in Slack to search by lead status, name, company, or rep

There, you can:
