Sales conversion rate measures the percentage of sales opportunities that become won customers.
The formula is:
Sales conversion rate = won customers / sales opportunities x 100
For example, if a team handles 200 opportunities and wins 50 customers, the sales conversion rate is 25.00%.
This metric is useful because it shows how effectively qualified opportunities turn into revenue. A low sales conversion rate may point to lead quality, offer fit, pricing, sales process, or follow-up issues.
Use the Sales Conversion Rate Calculator at /tools/sales-conversion-rate-calculator, then compare the result with lead conversion rate, CPL, CPA, CAC, and lead quality score.
