Is Pipeline Coverage Ratio simply the inverse of the win rate? Many people will translate a 20% win rate into the need for a 5:1 Pipeline Coverage Ratio - Dave "CAC" Kellogg and Ray "Growth" Rike dive into why that just isn't the case!

There are multiple variables that need to be considered including:

• Win Rate versus Closed-Won Rate Conversion - there is a difference

• What happens to Pipeline Coverage Ratio when deals are pushed into or pushed out of the quarter

• How is Pipeline Coverage Ratio different in a 30 day sales cycle versus a 180 day sale cycle

• Bottom line - why Pipeline Coverage Ratio is NOT as simple as 1/Win Rate
