Sales Pipeline

Collected pages and resources relating to the term, Sales Pipeline, on this site.

A diagram illustrating sales enablement opportunities to support a taxonomy page about the meaning of the term, sales pipeline.

As for most professions, salespeople use many short-form terms to describe aspects of the job. We use the term, Sales Pipeline, to describe the total of the known business opportunities yet to be realised.

Sales pipeline is measured by summing the total value of outstanding opportunities in each stage of the sales process and then adjusting the total according to the historical success ratio.

The pages listed below offer more information about the sales pipeline and our related services, such as consulting, training, coaching, and fractional sales enablement.

If you need to improve sales pipeline value or management, we can help. Schedule a free sales consultation or call +44 (0)1392 851500. Alternatively, use the contact form here or send an email to jimm@salessense.co.uk.
