At Livespace, we believe that the latter method is the way to go. Why?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many B2B businesses have two separate funnels \u2013 one for lead qualification (which is measured by conversions), and the other for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livespace.io\/en\/blog\/sales-process-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sales process<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (where \u2018win rate\u2019 applies). Combining these two into a single funnel could result in an artificially lowered win rate, since not every lead will eventually qualify for sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend using the following formula:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The # of won deals \u00f7 <\/span><b>total<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> # of closed deals (both won and lost) during a specific period x 100.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-112286\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livespace.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/win-rate-how-to-count.png\" alt=\"How to calculate sales win rate; a formula\" width=\"1800\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.livespace.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/win-rate-how-to-count.png 1800w, https:\/\/www.livespace.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/win-rate-how-to-count-300x44.png 300w, https:\/\/www.livespace.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/win-rate-how-to-count-1030x151.png 1030w, https:\/\/www.livespace.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/win-rate-how-to-count-768x113.png 768w, https:\/\/www.livespace.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/win-rate-how-to-count-1536x225.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.livespace.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/win-rate-how-to-count-1500x220.png 1500w, https:\/\/www.livespace.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/win-rate-how-to-count-705x103.png 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, say that during the last month, your company\u2019s sales team closed 72 deals. Out of these, 41 deals did not result in a sale, while 31 were won. To calculate your win rate for this time period you do the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">31 won deals \u00f7 72 total closed deals x 100 = 43% win rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"id3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a good win rate<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way of assessing if your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sales win rate<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is \u2018good\u2019 is referring to your industry\u2019s average. These can vary greatly. As we found in our research of over 1,200 SME businesses, industries like automotive dealerships and public services see average win rates as high as 48% and 49%, respectively. While others like law firms and professional services, see an average of 13%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a rule of thumb, the higher your win rates are from these benchmarks, the more certain you can be that you\u2019re not underperforming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019d like to see the average rates for your industry, download our B2B Sales Benchmarks 2025.

Qualifying leads correctly means that only good-quality ones end up in sales, letting them dedicate more time and attention to each prospect. This results in a better understanding of the client, a more tailored offer, and (hopefully) a higher chance of winning the deal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teams without a good lead qualification process often struggle to serve potential clients at the right level, simply because they lack the time.

The best way to change this is to dive into your existing customer base. Analyze the different customer groups you\u2019re serving to learn how you can tailor your sales techniques better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you narrow down these groups, you should create a structured sales process for each.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Livespace gives you a lot of flexibility in how you define your different customer segments.
