Pipeline Velocity

By Dan Kurtz 1 min read

Pipeline velocity is a composite metric: opportunities × average deal size × win rate ÷ sales cycle length. It gives one number for how much revenue the pipeline is generating per unit of time.

Because it combines four inputs, pipeline velocity is the single number a CRO should watch weekly. A drop in velocity signals something upstream broke (lead quality, close rate, or cycle length).
