What is close rate?

Close rate is the share of inquiries that become paying customers.

It is a key number for services, real estate and B2B. It decides how much an inquiry may cost.

Many businesses don't know it. Counting inquiries and closed deals for a few months is enough to start.

Formula

Close rate = deals / leads x 100

Example

40 inquiries, 10 closed jobs. Close rate is 25 %.
