The Forecasting Page

Forecasting & Revenue Planning

Written by Ian Resler
Updated this week

The Forecasting page is split into two sections:

  • Extended Revenue Planning (existing revenue performance and retention)

  • Forecast New Revenues (new pipeline and future revenue forecast)

Use these views to spot gaps early, course-correct faster, and stay ahead of your targets.

Extended Revenue Planning

This section gives you a clear view of revenue health across your existing book of business.
​

What you can track

  • Current yearly revenue

  • Churned revenue from the last 12 months

  • Net Revenue Retention (NRR)

Targets vs. reality

Compare actual revenue and forecasted revenue against your targets to quickly spot underperformance and adjust before the quarter gets away from you.

Forecast New Revenues

This section focuses on what is coming next, and how reliable your growth forecast is.

1. ICP vs Non-ICP revenue

See how much revenue is coming from your ideal customer profile versus other segments. This helps you validate whether growth is driven by the customers you actually want.

2. Revenue vs targets

Compare performance against targets over time:

  • Month over month

  • Quarter over quarter

3. Deal pipeline forecast

A forward-looking view of pipeline performance, broken into:

  • Closed-won deals

  • Forecasted deals already in your pipeline

  • Forecasted future deals expected to be created

  • Your targets for the same period

You can switch the view depending on what you need:

  • Deal value/Deal count

  • Expected close date (calculated based on all available data) or Set close date (the date entered by the sales manager)

4. Deals created forecast (pipeline inflow)

Shows how much new pipeline is expected to be created over time.

  • Past months show actual pipeline inflow

  • Future months show forecasted inflow based on seasonal patterns and growth trends

This helps you catch pipeline creation gaps early, even when current pipeline still looks fine.

5. Conversion rate forecast

Forecasts upcoming conversion rates using historical patterns, so you can see whether your pipeline is expected to convert better or worse in the coming months.

6. Deal duration forecast

Shows average sales cycle length in days and forecasts future deal duration based on past deal trends. This helps you anticipate whether deals are likely to close faster or slower.
