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.
