Metrics · GTM Glossary
Sales Cycle
The total time from first contact with a prospect to closing the deal. SMB sales cycles might be 2–4 weeks; enterprise cycles can be 3–12 months. Shorter cycles mean faster revenue.
Example
A PLG SaaS product might have a 14-day cycle, while an enterprise deal with Siemens could take 9 months.
