Pipeline velocity

Pipeline velocity is the rate at which opportunities turn into revenue. It is calculated from the number of opportunities, their average value, the win rate, and the length of the sales cycle.

Why it matters

It shows whether growth comes from more deals, larger deals, better conversion, or faster cycles.

How Limerine uses the term

We compute it from a company's own stage history rather than from stage labels.
