Although some experts like Grant Cardone tells you not to worry about your close rate, it is a number you definitely need to keep a close eye on. It lets you know how efficient and effective you are as a sales rep, team or organization. The higher it is, the better you are at converting opportunities in the pipeline into revenue. Actually even a slight improvement might have a huge impact on your revenue.
But before discussing how to increase it, let’s begin with some definitions. Your close rate is the number of opportunities you win, compared to the number of opportunities you create, or in other words, number of proposals you have sent in the same time period.
Sometimes it is confused with win rate, which is the number of won opportunities, compared to the number total number of closed opportunities (won + lost).
Sales literature is full of articles, training, methods, tips and tactics on how to improve your overall sales process, so that you will have a higher close rate, such as:
All of the above are valid and valuable suggestions, and you should definitely implement these tactics. But there is one more area, where you should focus on: sales engagement!
Sales engagement is defined as the set of measurable interactions that occur between you and your prospect. More than the quantity, it focuses on the quality and efficiency of this communication between your sales team and your customers.
We said `measurable interactions` but what are those interactions and how do we measure them? Now think about a proposal you have sent to one of your prospects. Engagement metrics might be the following:
You might say you don’t have access to such real-time data, but thanks to modern sales technology, now it is possible to track all these metrics with a sales engagement platform.
Here’s the real question for you. If you can improve these engagement metrics, do you think you will have a better chance to close that deal? Of course, yes! For example, if you keep optimizing your sales collateral and make sure your prospects read it through the end, you will certainly increase your close rate.
