What is Average Sales Cycle Length?
Average sales cycle length measures the average number of days from the first meaningful touchpoint with a prospect to closing the deal. It's a critical input for forecasting and pipeline management.
Benchmarks
- SMB ($5K-$25K deals): 14-30 days
- Mid-market ($25K-$100K): 30-90 days
- Enterprise ($100K+): 90-180+ days
Why Cycle Length Matters
Shorter cycles mean faster revenue, lower risk, and higher pipeline velocity. Every extra week in the cycle increases the probability of a deal dying, to competitor, internal politics, or changed priorities.
