At a 34% close rate, you need 35 opportunities in your pipeline to statistically close 11.6 deals and hit your $4,250 quota. Focus on generating 9 new qualified opportunities per week, not just dollar value.

How This Works

The Problem: Most sales orgs use arbitrary coverage multiples (3x, 4x) without understanding the math. Coverage is a value metric, but close rate is a volume metric.

The Solution: This calculator uses your actual close rate to determine how many opportunities (volume) you need, not just pipeline value.

Top Performer Benchmark: Reps who hit or exceed quota average 15 closed deals at $365 MRR. This calculator helps you reverse-engineer what pipeline you need to match that performance.
