Pipeline coverage measures the amount of pipeline you have, relative to your quota for a given period of time.  To measure this metric, you take your total pipeline for a period, and divide by your quota for that same time period.

Pipeline coverage measures the amount of pipeline you have, relative to your quota for a given period of time.

For example, if a rep has $500,000 of pipeline for Q2 and their quota for Q2 is $125,000, then their pipeline coverage is $500,000 / $125,000 = 4.0x.  This rep has a 4x pipeline coverage.

To measure pipeline coverage with Salesforce data,

sum up the amount from all of the open opportunities a rep has, which have a close date in the period you are measuring.  Then divide that by the rep’s quota for that same period.

To measure pipeline coverage with HubSpot CRM data,

first sum the amount from all of the open deals a rep has, which have a close date in the period you are measuring. Then divide that by the rep’s quota for that same period.
