Bookings

Definition

The total value of contracts customers have committed to, even before the money is actually received.

Why it matters

Bookings show future revenue you have already won, giving a forward-looking view of sales momentum.

Example

Closing five annual deals worth £10k each gives you £50k in bookings, even if cash arrives later.
