Below are the four variables currently measured by your CRM that are used in the sales velocity formula:

number of possibilities;

average transaction cost;

Win/conversion ratio value;

sales cycle length.

To learn how to use each of these dentist database sales velocity variables to guide your organization's planning and goal setting, let's take a closer look at them:

Number of possibilities

There are always a certain number of opportunities in your organization's pipeline. You need to make sure that they are real. Profits can suffer if the sales funnel is clogged with invalid leads, and only a few have a chance to close.

Cost (average size) of a transaction

Each party must spend one of the most important resources on a transaction – time. You need to make sure that this indicator is used with maximum benefit for you and for the potential client. This is achieved by providing such offers and additions that will make their life easier, and will increase your average transaction cost and sales speed.

Sales velocity variables

Win/Conversion Rate

It shows the average percentage of wins, which should be directly proportional to the number of leads you generate. And correct and high-quality. To determine the percentage of wins, you need to divide the number of sales won by the total number of opportunities.

Sales cycle length (measured in months)

Cycle length is about making your sales process more efficient. This is done by revising your sales plan and increasing your sales force from time to time. These strategies help shorten your average sales cycle and close more quality deals faster.
