What is Sales Velocity?

A formula measuring how quickly revenue moves through the pipeline: (Opportunities ร— Deal Size ร— Win Rate) รท Cycle Length.

What is Sales Velocity?

Sales velocity measures how much revenue flows through your pipeline per day. The formula is:

(Number of Opportunities ร— Average Deal Size ร— Win Rate) รท Average Sales Cycle Length (in days)

Example

(40 opportunities ร— $30,000 ร— 25% win rate) รท 45 days = $6,667/day

Why Sales Velocity Matters

Sales velocity is the single most comprehensive sales metric because it captures all four revenue levers. Improving any one lever has a compounding effect on daily revenue generation.

How FlowStrata Increases Sales Velocity

FlowStrata directly impacts two of the four levers: we increase opportunity count through systematic outbound and shorten cycle length by pre-qualifying and warming prospects. The net effect is significantly higher sales velocity for our clients.
