The Pipeline Overview report can help you understand how your team is creating pipeline.

  • View opps and pipeline value created so far this month, quarter, etc...

  • Compare current performance to previous periods

  • See how efficiently you're creating pipeline with opp creation rate metrics

  • Compare reps side-by-side to see who's creating pipeline and who need help

  • Drill into rep-level metrics and identify areas for improvement

Pipeline Overview

The overview section gives you a high-level view of how a team is creating pipleline over the report period. You can drill into different time ranges and filter your view by rep groups.

Metric
Description

Opps created

The number of new opportunities that have been created in the report period. You can click on this metric for details on the opps included in that number.

Pipeline created

The amount of pipeline created, in dollars, in the report period

Opp creation rate

The ratio of opps created to accounts worked (X opps / Y accounts) for the report period

Avg opps created

The average number of opps created per rep

If you see a 0 next to any metrics, you may need to update your configuration to make sure we're using the right account or opportunity field to calculate. More on that below.

Opps Created Section

This section provides a breakdown of when opps have been created (in both opportunity count and dollar amount), and compares that to the previous corresponding time period.

Accounts Engaged Section

This section has a more detailed chart showing how each rep in the view is engaging the accounts in their books. There's lots more detail about account engagement in the Rep Report.

Please note: If you've enabled activity thresholds, you'll see an updated chart built on accounts that are considered "worked", or accounts that meet your activity thresholds. More on activity thresholds here.

Rep Leaderboard

This section shows a table of all sales reps and how many accounts they've engaged, how many opps they've created, and their opp creation rate (opps created / accounts worked) for the report period. You can click into each rep name for more detail on their contribution to pipeline. There's also a lot more data on rep performance in the Rep Report.
