Pipeline Model Calculator
What pipeline do you need to hit your revenue target? Funnel math from revenue to SQLs.
Benchmarks: Bridge Group, SaaStr, HubSpot.
Pipeline Generation Team Targets
Allocate total pipeline requirement across generation channels.
| Channel | % Allocation | Annual Target | Quarterly Target | Monthly Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TOTAL |
Implementation Notes
1. Channel ownership must be clearly assigned — no shared accountability.
2. SDR channel includes both outbound and inbound follow-up.
3. AE/KAM sourced pipeline is self-generated from existing relationships.
4. Partnership channel requires dedicated partner manager or shared AE ownership.
5. Measure actuals vs. plan monthly. Report quarterly.
6. Rebalance allocations quarterly based on actual conversion rates.
7. If any channel consistently underperforms, investigate root cause before cutting allocation.

SDR Activity Model
Capacity-based model. What your SDR team CAN produce vs. what the pipeline plan NEEDS.
| Metric | Monthly | Quarterly | Annual |

| Monthly | Quarterly | Annual |

Implementation Notes
1. SDR ramp: expect 3-month ramp to full productivity. Adjust targets accordingly.
2. Activity quality matters more than volume. Track meaningful conversations, not just dials.
3. SQL definition must be agreed between SDR and AE leadership before deployment.
4. Monitor SQL-to-Meeting Completed rate weekly. Below 50% indicates qualification issues.
5. Activity mix should flex by market. Enterprise skews LinkedIn. SMB skews calls.
6. Pipeline attribution: SDR gets credit for sourced pipeline regardless of who closes.
7. Review gap analysis monthly. If gap persists 2+ quarters, hire or restructure.
8. Benchmark: 10 SDRs, 545K activities, 2,092 SQLs, $198M pipeline generated, $30M closed revenue over 30 months at enterprise scale.
