Win Rate
The percentage of sales opportunities that end in a closed deal, out of all the qualified deals you pursued.
Win rate = deals won / total qualified deals
Why it matters
Win rate measures the quality of your pipeline and sales execution. A rising win rate lets you forecast and hire against pipeline with confidence; a falling one warns of targeting or product-fit problems.
For example
A sales team pursues 100 qualified deals and closes 25, a 25 percent win rate.
