Why is it important to track sales pipeline stage durations?
Tracking stage durations helps identify bottlenecks, predict revenue timing, optimize resource allocation, improve forecasting accuracy, coach sales reps on specific stages, and reduce overall sales cycle length for faster revenue growth.
What are typical durations for each sales pipeline stage?
Varies by industry and deal size. Generally: Lead qualification (1-3 days), discovery (1-2 weeks), proposal (1-2 weeks), negotiation (3-7 days), closing (3-5 days). B2B enterprise sales cycles are typically 3-18 months total.
How do I identify which pipeline stages are taking too long?
Compare your stage durations to industry benchmarks, analyze where deals get stuck most often, track stage-to-stage conversion rates, identify patterns in lost deals, and monitor individual rep performance by stage.
What can I do to accelerate slow-moving pipeline stages?
Improve qualification criteria, create stage-specific templates and processes, provide better sales training, implement automated follow-ups, remove decision-making friction, and establish clear next-step commitments.
How often should I analyze pipeline stage performance?
Monitor weekly for tactical adjustments, conduct monthly deep dives for process improvements, quarterly reviews for strategic changes, and annual analysis for major process overhauls and target setting.
