What is Deal Velocity?
Deal velocity measures how fast deals move through your pipeline. It's calculated as the number of deals advancing per day—typically from one stage to the next.
High velocity indicates a healthy sales process. Low velocity signals bottlenecks, stuck deals, or process breakdown that needs immediate attention.
- Pipeline Health: Fast-moving deals mean your process is working.
- Early Warning: Identify stalled deals before they disappear.
- Forecast Accuracy: High-velocity deals are more likely to close this quarter.
- Manager Coaching: Know which reps and stages need help.
HelloGrowthCRM calculates velocity automatically and surfaces it with alerts, trends, and stage-by-stage analytics so managers can act fast.
