Using the Data
Calculate Sales Capacity
To hit $1M in sales at $50K average and 20% close rate:
Need: $1M ÷ $50K = 20 deals
Proposals needed: 20 ÷ 0.40 = 50
Appointments needed: 50 ÷ 0.67 = 75
Leads needed: 75 ÷ 0.75 ÷ 0.80 = 125
Improvement Focus
Compare your rates to identify the stage with biggest opportunity:
- 5% improvement at bottom of funnel = more impact than 20% at top
- Focus improvement efforts where drop-off is unusual
