Sales Velocity is an excellent measure of an agency’s success in writing new business.  It is calculated by dividing new  commission and fee income written by prior year commission and fee income.  The Age Banding of Sales Velocity takes it a step  further by showing Sales Velocity contributions by different producer age groupings (35 and under, 36‐45, 46‐55, over 55).
