Monthly sales volume

Monthly sales volume

Noun

[muhnth·lee saylz vahl·you·m]

Monthly sales volume is an essential SaaS sales metric that measures partner-sourced revenue that's generated on a monthly basis. Monthly sales volume is calculated by adding up the total sales in a month. Average monthly sales volume is calculated by diving the total sales per year by twelve to reflect the averaged amount. Monthly sales volume can show fluctuations over the year and be a key indicator of a healthy, growing SaaS business.

Example: One of the most important KPIs to track for a new SaaS company is monthly sales volume so investors and stakeholders can understand how much sales revenue they're making a month and approximate how much they will in future months.
