Measuring the rate at which leads pass through a funnel is a fundamental aspect of business planning.
Funnel velocity can be measured using the following:
- Age in a stage before moving to the next stage
- Total generation in all steps leading to an exit
- The time that passes from an action (i.e., Call to Action) to a reaction (i.e., sales inquiry) or a sequence of events (i.e., signup, purchase, etc.)
Determining velocity can be used as a benchmark to track which stages in a sales funnel, and marketing process accelerates a sale or slows it down.
Why is Funnel Velocity Important?
Learning to calculate and analyze your sales velocity allows you to identify critical areas in your marketing and message to improve revenue.
Some questions to ask yourself when determining your velocity are:
We focus on direct response and customer acquisition in e-commerce, lead gen, and mobile. When it comes to results and leads, we speak your language.
- Have you ever closed a sale with a lead staying in a stage for a long duration?
- Do you always lose sales after a particular age stage?
- How far over the average can opportunities be before leads lose interest?
Here’s an example of funnel velocity: You have 27 sales-accepted leads. The “win” rate on qualified leads is 20%. The average sale is $25,000, and the current sales cycle is 35 days. This makes the current pipeline velocity $3857 for the month. This means that around $3850 is flowing through your pipeline daily.
Calculating the points where sales accelerate or slow down throughout your funnel is also a critical metric when analyzing your sales forecast.
