How to Calculate Ramp-Up Time to Improve Your Sales Capacity Planning
Sales capacity planning helps you determine exactly how many account executives (AEs) you need to reach your ARR target and when you’ll need them.
To make sure your plan is accurate, you first need to know how long it will take your new AEs to become productive. How do you figure that out? Find out in this eBook.
How long should your ramp-up time be?
You may already have a “gut-feel” for what your ramp-up time should be. It’s around the time you start to worry about a new AE’s progress toward meeting quota. Whether that’s six or nine months or more than a year, the point at which you feel your AE isn’t ramping up fast enough is probably pretty close to what your company’s typical ramp-up time is.
Problem is, using a timeframe that’s “pretty close” based on intuition alone doesn’t bode well for accurate planning. To ensure your sales capacity planning is as reliable as possible, you need to have accurate information on your ramp-up time.
