What Should the Sales Close Rate Be?

ViewPoint

Because a few years ago the sales group asked us (PointClear) to validate those so-called leads and it turned out that only 1.8% If the average company could, in fact, close 20% of sales qualified leads the ROMI would be $28.80 Why don’t they follow-up? Less than 2% of the total were merely qualified companies, mind you.

Dear CEO: Fix these three things and increase revenue

I asked him what percentage of leads delivered by PointClear were considered high quality and he said 100%. They calculate how much the average deal is, assume a 20% close rate and calculate ROMI (return on marketing investment) based on these estimates. I asked him how much our leads cost and he said $650.

What Percent of Leads Should Sales Close?

ViewPoint

Close Rate Required for 10x ROMI*. ROMI = Return on marketing investment. Cost per Lead (based on $61.50/hour hour and 40-hour week). Break-Even Close Rate (1 / (Margin per Deal / Cost per Lead)). In my opinion, this approach is too simplistic, and doesn’t account for variety of variables such as deal size, margins and lead rate.
