But to do so, you need to understand what each sales metric or KPI is telling you about your funnel, and how to use this for better insights.<\/p>\n<h2>Sales Funnel Metrics<\/h2>\n<p>The first place to start your measurement is by looking at your funnel to get a sense of how leads move through the buying journey.<\/p>\n<h3>Sales Funnel Conversion Rates<\/h3>\n<p>You should track the number of prospects at each stage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/blog\/what-is-a-b2b-marketing-and-sales-funnel\/\">B2B sales funnel<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/blog\/marketing\/4-ways-to-build-awareness-and-interest-in-b2b\/\">Awareness<\/a> stage (leads)<\/strong>. How many contacts have you found from businesses that have discovered you through your range of marketing activities? How does this break down by each source or activity?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Interest stage (MQLs)<\/strong>. How many contacts have the marketing team identified as being more engaged and flagged as a marketing qualified lead (MQL)?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consideration\/evaluation stage (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/blog\/what-is-a-sales-qualified-lead-sql-and-how-do-you-get-more-of-them\/\">SQL<\/a>)<\/strong>. How many contacts have responded positively to communications or further marketing activity and have been passed over to the sales team to approach?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Evaluation\/Engagement stage (opportunities)<\/strong>. How many contacts have entered the full sales cycle?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Action\/Conversion stage (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/blog\/b2b-sales-closing-techniques-how-to-seal-the-deal\/\">closed deals<\/a>)<\/strong>. How many contacts have decided to work with you and how many have walked away?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By breaking down the number of contacts at each stage, you\u2019ll get a sense of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/blog\/cro\/what-is-a-good-conversion-rate-for-b2b-websites\/\">average conversion rate<\/a> for each part of the funnel and from lead to closed deal. This is a good benchmark to understand how you compare to industry averages and see how your performance improves over time.<\/p>\n<h3>Sales Velocity<\/h3>\n<p>Another important metric is your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/blog\/what-is-sales-velocity-and-how-do-you-measure-it\/\">sales velocity<\/a>, which simply means how quickly it takes you to generate revenue over a specific period.<\/p>\n<p>You can look at this on a daily basis, to get a sense of how much the sales team brings in on specific days, or look at months, quarters, years, and more.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if a sales rep has 10 opportunities to focus on, the average deal size is $10,000, they have a win rate of 20% and the average sales cycle is 45 days, their sales velocity would be $450 per day and $13,500 for the month.<\/p>\n<p>The higher the sales velocity, the more revenue you\u2019re securing. But it\u2019s wise to segment this metric by factors like business size or industry, especially if there are differences in the buying cycle of each segment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7891\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sales-Velocity@200x-100-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"How to Calculate Sales Velocity - Sales velocity = number of opportunities x average deal size x conversion-rate \u00f7 pipeline length\" width=\"2148\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sales-Velocity@200x-100-scaled.jpg 2148w, https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sales-Velocity@200x-100-1280x715.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sales-Velocity@200x-100-980x547.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sales-Velocity@200x-100-480x268.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2148px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Sales Cycle Length<\/h3>\n<p>Similarly, it\u2019s important to measure your sales cycle length. This tells you how long it takes someone to decide to buy something, and in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/b2b-sales-definition-strategies-tips\/\">B2B sales<\/a> this can last 12 months or more.<\/p>\n<p>You can find this metric by looking at your closed sales and working out how much time has passed between the first contact and their purchase date.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding how long your sales cycle is will give you an idea of when leads might convert. But it also gives you an important KPI that you can measure against, because you want to shorten your sales cycle and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/blog\/how-to-close-b2b-deals-faster\/\">close deals faster<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Number of Leads Qualified<\/h3>\n<p>This metric outlines the success of your first pipeline stage and tells you how many of the new opportunities you found have turned into qualified leads.<\/p>\n<p>When you have a high number of qualified leads, it means your marketing and prospecting are working well and you\u2019re attracting the right types of leads. But if the number is low, it suggests you might be targeting the wrong people.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, this B2B sales pipeline metric is also good for determining which salesperson (or team) has the best understanding of the customer persona. You can then promote their approach as a best practice for your sales team.<\/p>\n<p>If you qualify a large number of leads but fail to achieve a high rate of wins- you need to ask whether your current processes are strict enough to align with essential product criteria or contract terms.<\/p>\n<h2>Sales Success Metrics<\/h2>\n<p>Being able to monitor how successful you are at selling is another important metric, and there are a few ways to do it.<\/p>\n<h3>Win Rate<\/h3>\n<p>Your win rate looks at how many deals you closed in comparison to the number of leads you were given. For example, if you had 50 leads to work with and you achieved 20 sales, your win rate is 2 in 5 (or 40%).<\/p>\n<p>Win rate is a helpful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/blog\/b2b-sales-statistics\/\">sales statistic<\/a> because it shows which team members perform strongly\u2014and who might need more support.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a good indicator of whether you\u2019re pursuing the right prospects. If you see consistently low win rates, you might need to target different people or reconsider your approach.<\/p>\n<p>Your win rate can also help you estimate how many deals you could close in a month. For example, if your win rate is 40% and you have 75 leads, you\u2019ll probably close around 30 sales in that period.<\/p>\n<h2>Sales Value Metrics<\/h2>\n<p>Naturally, sales is about bringing in revenue. That\u2019s why measuring the value of sales is so important.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s more than looking at how much money has been invoiced each month.<\/p>\n<h3>Deal Size<\/h3>\n<p>The first revenue metric to look at is deal size. If you look closer at the high value deals and the low-value deals, you might spot some factors that influenced the outcome. This insight can help you to start trying something that worked well for a high value deal.<\/p>\n<p>It also lets you find out more about your high value deals. For example, did they take longer to close than the smaller deals? What did the prospect respond well to?<\/p>\n<h2>Retention Metrics<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to win a new client, so making sure you retain them is important. Measuring retention metrics will help you get a sense of how many clients stay with you after their initial period, and how many you lose.<\/p>\n<h3>Customer Lifetime Value<\/h3>\n<p>Studies show that attracting new customers is more costly than retaining existing ones. If you believe in establishing long-term relationships with your customers, then customer lifetime value (CLV) is one of the B2B sales pipeline metrics you should track.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out your CLV by taking your average order value and multiplying it by the average number of transactions for your customers. For example, if a customer signs up for a year and renews their contract for two more years, you\u2019ll multiply the average order value by 3.<\/p>\n<p>If you can segment the data by things like industry or business size, you might start to see which types of customers generate the highest lifetime value and focus your efforts on closing more of those types of leads.<\/p>\n<h3>Customer Retention<\/h3>\n<p>A well-executed sales strategy produces highly loyal clients with increased lifetime value. These clients continue to spend money on your products and provide your business with a reliable revenue stream.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s very similar to customer churn, but retention rate focuses on the positives by looking at how many customers you have kept.<\/p>\n<h3>Customer Churn<\/h3>\n<p>Just like retention, churn also looks at retention \u2013 but with a focus on attrition, instead.<\/p>\n<p>One way to do this is to take the number of customers you have at the start of the month and how many you have at the end of the month. Another way to do this is to look at how many clients don\u2019t renew after the end of their contract.<\/p>\n<p>When you know your churn, you can benchmark this against your industry and have a solid KPI that you review when you&#8217;re<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/blog\/reduce-customer-churn\/\"> lowering your customer churn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Get More Insights With Lead Forensics<\/h2>\n<p>You can turn anonymous B2B website traffic into actionable leads with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/\">visitor identification<\/a> platform. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadforensics.com\/contact\/\">Get in touch to book your demo now<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With so much data at our fingertips, it can be hard to know where to focus your energy.
