What is Pipeline Coverage Ratio?
Pipeline coverage ratio measures whether you have enough pipeline to hit your revenue target. It's calculated as: Total Pipeline Value ÷ Revenue Target.
Benchmarks
- Below 2x: Dangerously low, very unlikely to hit target
- 2-3x: At risk, requires high win rates to hit target
- 3-4x: Healthy, standard recommendation
- 5x+: Strong coverage, room for lower win rates
Why Pipeline Coverage Matters
If your win rate is 25% and your quarterly target is $1M, you need $4M in pipeline (4x coverage) to have a reasonable chance of hitting quota. Pipeline coverage converts sales strategy from hope to math.
