Method and definitions

Round up required customers = goal ÷ deal value, then round up each upstream stage by dividing by its conversion rate. Monthly pace = total MQLs ÷ months. MQL change = (required − prior) ÷ prior × 100.

This models sequential stage definitions and a matching cohort. Allow for sales-cycle lag; required monthly averages do not guarantee wins within the period. The prior-period comparison measures target growth, not observed lead velocity. With zero prior MQLs, percentage change is undefined.

Worked example

A $100,000 goal at $10,000 per win needs 10 wins, 40 opportunities, 80 SQLs and 400 MQLs at 25%, 50% and 20% stage rates.

How does this reverse funnel calculator work?

Round up required customers = goal ÷ deal value, then round up each upstream stage by dividing by its conversion rate. Monthly pace = total MQLs ÷ months. MQL change = (required − prior) ÷ prior × 100.

How should I interpret the result?

This models sequential stage definitions and a matching cohort. Allow for sales-cycle lag; required monthly averages do not guarantee wins within the period. The prior-period comparison measures target growth, not observed lead velocity. With zero prior MQLs, percentage change is undefined.

Can I download my results?

Yes. CSV export includes the inputs, unrounded numeric results where applicable, method and scope. Copy results is also available; if clipboard access is unavailable, a text download is provided. This tool runs in your browser without sending or storing your inputs.
