Lead Velocity Rate (LVR)

2026-05-31 7 min read

Lead velocity rate (LVR) measures the month-over-month growth rate of qualified leads. Formula: ((Qualified Leads this month − Qualified Leads last month) / Qualified Leads last month) × 100. LVR is a leading indicator of future revenue — typically 30–60 days ahead of MRR/ARR growth. Sustained LVR above 10% monthly is the demand-generation north star metric for fast-growing B2B SaaS.
