Pipeline coverage is the ratio of total pipeline value to quota for a given period. A rep with $1M in pipeline against a $250K quarterly quota has 4x pipeline coverage. Most cybersecurity sales organizations target 3x to 4x coverage because not every deal will close.
Pipeline coverage tells cybersecurity sales reps and managers whether they have enough active deals to hit their number. Low coverage early in a quarter signals a problem that requires immediate prospecting activity. Sales leaders use coverage ratios to forecast revenue and identify reps who need coaching or support.
