Sales pipeline progression

This chart illustrates the evolution of sales through the sales funnel in terms of wins and losses so that you can see trends or deviations that should be brought to the attention of the sales team.

Note that when sorting by months or weeks, there are two ways to calculate the number of opportunities and the total revenue value from the sales pipeline.

  • Averages: VOGSY calculates the average number of opportunities and total revenue value based on the number of days the opportunity was in the selected stage during the selected week or month. This gives a weighted view on the progression within each stage. This is the default method. Go to the Charts back office module if you want to change this.

  • End of period: The number of opportunities and revenue value is determined on the last day of the month or week.

To ensure this chart is accurate, do the following:

  • Consistently update the sales stages as they progress.

  • Keep sales revenue accurate.
