Accurate revenue forecasting is essentieel voor business planning, resource allocation, en financial management. Tesoro CRM provides tools voor data-driven forecasting based op pipeline value, stage confidence, en historical conversion data.
Forecasting methodologieën
1. Simple pipeline value:
Total sum van alle active deal values:
Total Pipeline = Sum of all deal valuesPro: Simple, easy to understand
Con: Overestimates revenue (niet all deals close)
2. Weighted pipeline value:
Multiply deal value × stage confidence percentage:
Weighted Value = Deal Value × Stage Confidence %Example stage confidence:
- Lead: 10%
- Qualification: 20%
- Viewing: 40%
- Negotiation: 70%
- Closing: 90%
Pro: More realistic forecast
Con: Requires accurate stage confidence data
3. Historical conversion forecast:
Based op actual win rates per stage:
Forecast = Pipeline Value × Historical Win RatePro: Data-driven, improves over time
Con: Requires historical data

Praktisch forecasting voorbeeld
Current pipeline:
- 5 deals in Lead stage: 5 × €200K × 10% = €100K
- 3 deals in Qualification: 3 × €250K × 20% = €150K
- 4 deals in Viewing: 4 × €300K × 40% = €480K
- 2 deals in Negotiation: 2 × €350K × 70% = €490K
- 1 deal in Closing: 1 × €400K × 90% = €360K
Weighted forecast = €1,580K
Met historical win rate van 25%:
Historical forecast = (€2.5M total pipeline) × 25% = €625K
Recommendation: Use average van both methods voor balanced forecast: ~€1.1M
