How to use it
  1. Step 1: Enter your revenue target, average deal size and win rate.
  2. Step 2: Read the pipeline you need and how far your open pipeline covers it. Months left, sales cycle and open pipeline sit under "Adjust assumptions".
  3. Step 3: See how many accounts you would have to work to close the gap.

What your target needs

You need about $4,000,000 of pipeline to hit your target, which means about 15 new opportunities to create on top of what is open today.

These are example figures, not a benchmark. Change the numbers to yours.

Worked out with $200,000 already won, $2,500,000 open pipeline, 6 months left and a 4 month sales cycle. Change them under Adjust assumptions.

You need 15 more opportunities. With a 4-month cycle, those created in the next 2.0 months can still close in this period.

That is 75 accounts worked properly. If your team cannot work that many, change the period or the capacity, not the size of the send.

How the numbers work

The gap is your target minus what you have already won. The pipeline you need is the gap divided by your win rate, so there is no universal coverage ratio: the multiple you need is 1 divided by your own win rate.

The sales cycle decides when new pipeline can count. An opportunity created with less than one cycle left in the period will usually close in the next one.

Accounts to work is the new opportunities divided by the share of worked accounts that turn into one. If you do not have that figure, start recording it: it sizes your account list.

Why this works on named accounts

Most pipeline maths ends with a number of leads to buy. For a large-deal business that is the wrong unit: the shortfall is a number of opportunities, each inside a company where several people must agree. Turning the gap into accounts to work tells you whether your list and your team are big enough before the quarter starts. If they are not, the honest choices are a longer period, a better win rate or more capacity.

Common questions

What is pipeline coverage?

Open pipeline divided by the revenue you still need to close in the period.

What coverage ratio should I aim for?

The tool gives no benchmark. The ratio you need follows from your own win rate, which is why it asks for it.

Why does it give a number of accounts and not leads?

In a large-deal business each opportunity sits inside a company where several people must agree, so the unit you can plan is the account.

Is anything I type saved or sent?
