one of the most important KPIs of sales operation to measure and analyze is: Weighted pipeline value: How much revenue are you expecting for the next month/quarter? The value of expected sales based on the stage they are in helps in forecasting and setting targets for the coming period.  #Why it matters The weighted pipeline value can clarify whether your ops team is doing better or worse than the last month/quarter. Your pipeline value is a direct metric for the effectiveness of your prospecting and lead generation. Stronger pipeline numbers mean your ops squad is doing well while declining trends can signal the need for a revamp.   When combined with forecast accuracy, this metric can also offer a better insight into the strength of your overall sales pipeline.  #How to calculate weighted pipeline value Probability of closing a sale x expected value of the sale #SalesOperations #SalesManagement

What is Sales Pipeline Metrics?? 🪈Tracking the sales pipeline is one of the core elements of a dashboard for sales coverage analysis. ✔️✔️This KPI offers a quick overview of the several phases a lead or prospect experiences prior to becoming a client. Among the metrics used in this category are: 🗣️🗣️Conversion Rates: The proportion of leads that advance from one step of the sales funnel to the next is tracked by conversion rates. A well-optimized sales process is indicated by a better conversion rate. Sales Velocity: The pace at which leads pass through the pipeline is measured by sales velocity. It takes transaction closing time into account, which improves revenue forecasting for businesses.‼️‼️ 💴💴Deal Size: Knowledge of deal sizes at various stages of the pipeline can lead to new sources of income. It aids in giving high-value opportunities priority. #Sales #SalesProspect #Salesmatrics

When conducting pipeline reviews, here's a list of some of my favorite deal KPIs to analyze: Days in stage Last Prospect Interaction Last Sales Interaction # Emails # Calls # Meetings # Prospects in convo chain (Multi-thread?) Deal Size (ARR or ACV) Deal Stage Probability of Close Close Date Decision-Maker Engagement Buying Signals / Intent Objections and Risks Champion and Relationship Strength Competitor Involvement Sales Cycle Length Lead Source Multi-threading Next Steps and Action Items Contract StatusUpsell / Cross-sell PotentialCustomer Fit (BANT, MEDDIC) Contract Value to Quota (CVTQ) What's missing?

We analyzed 26,828 sales meetings. Here's the most shocking insight 🤯 Lost deals had an average talk-time of 72% from the sales rep. Won deals? Just 46%. Let that sink in... Your best opportunities are literally telling you how to close them - but if you're talking more than half the time, you're missing crucial signals. Quick example from last week: One of our users switched from their usual demo script to asking "What brings you here today?" Then stayed silent. The prospect revealed: - Their exact budget - Current tool frustrations - Decision timeline - And their main decision criteria All in just 3 minutes of uninterrupted talking. No questions needed. The data is clear: Top performers spend more time listening than talking. #sales #listening #b2bsales #sdr #bdr
