It is useful for:

Formula
Sales Velocity = Opportunities × Average Deal Value × Win Rate ÷ Sales Cycle Length
Where:

- Sales Velocity = expected revenue moving through the pipeline per day
Example calculation
If:
- Opportunities = 40
- Average deal value = 15000
- Win rate = 25%
- Sales cycle length = 30
Then:
- Sales velocity = 40 × 15000 × 0.25 ÷ 30
- Sales velocity = 5000.00
