Win Rate

Win Rate is the percentage of qualified opportunities a sales team converts into closed-won deals. It is one of the four inputs to Sales Velocity and a primary lever for improving revenue output without adding headcount. Win rate is best measured from a consistent stage — most teams count from the first qualified stage (SQL or Stage 1) to ensure comparability. Improving win rate by even a few points often has a larger revenue impact than adding pipeline.

Formula
Closed Won Opportunities ÷ Total Opportunities Entered × 100
Industry Benchmark
20–35% is typical for B2B SaaS AEs. Top performers hit 35–50%. Win rates below 15% usually signal a qualification or product-market fit problem.
