Measure how fast your pipeline generates revenue. Identify your biggest lever for growth with built-in sensitivity analysis.
What it does
Calculates how fast revenue moves through your pipeline by combining deal count, average deal size, win rate, and sales cycle length into a single velocity metric.
Why it matters
Deal velocity tells you how much revenue your pipeline generates per day. Improving any of the four inputs — even slightly — compounds into significant revenue growth.
Definition
Deal Velocity = (Number of Deals × Average Deal Size × Win Rate) / Average Sales Cycle Length. The result is your daily revenue generation rate.
Assumptions
How to interpret your results
Compare velocity month-over-month. Even a 10% improvement in one input accelerates revenue significantly. The fastest lever is usually reducing sales cycle length.
How to improve
Shorten sales cycles
Multi-thread deals, send proposals faster, and reduce decision lag
Increase win rate
Better qualification upfront means fewer wasted cycles on bad-fit deals
Grow deal sizes
Bundle products, sell annual contracts, or add upsell motions
