Win Rate

What Is Win Rate?

Win Rate is the proportion of sales opportunities that successfully result in a completed deal. It reflects how effectively a sales team turns potential leads into paying customers. Monitoring Win Rate over time helps businesses evaluate sales strategies, improve forecasting accuracy, and identify performance gaps.

How to Calculate Win Rate

  • Define the reporting period you want to measure, such as one month, three months, or a full year:
  • List every sales prospect or lead generated during that chosen period:
  • Count how many of those prospects resulted in finalized sales:
  • Divide the number of finalized sales by the total number of prospects:
  • Multiply the result by 100:

Formula

Win Rate = (Number of Won Deals ÷ Total Opportunities) × 100

Benchmark

Win Rate benchmarks vary across industries, deal sizes, and sales approaches. Many teams average between 15% and 30%, while consistently high-performing teams may achieve around 40% or higher.
