Count the Quotes a Revenue Target Actually Needs

A revenue target is a number of quotes once the average sale and the win rate are on the page.

What this guide helps you do

Turn a revenue target, average sale, win rate, and weeks into quotes needed and quotes a week.

Who this guide is for

Freelancers and small businesses planning a quarter of proposals or estimates.

Use the source document or official route that applies to your situation. This guide does not contact another person or verify external information.

Steps

  1. Use a real average sale

    Take the average of your last five closed sales, not the biggest one.

  2. Use a measured win rate

    Divide wins by quotes sent over a reasonable period. Use the real number.

  3. Set the target

    Use the revenue you need, not the revenue you want.

  4. Count the weeks

    Count the selling weeks available, allowing for holidays.

  5. Read the weekly count

    The App shows the quotes needed and the weekly pace.

Worked example

A $50,000 target at a $2,500 average and a 25 percent win rate needs 80 quotes, or seven a week over 12 weeks.

  1. Revenue a quote = $2,500 × 25 percent = $625
  2. Quotes needed = $50,000 ÷ $625 = 80
  3. Quotes a week = 80 ÷ 12 weeks = 6.67, rounded up to 7

Use your own source and details. The example is not a record about a real person or organization.

Compare two worked cases

Two targets. Both are examples.

Both cases are examples, not records about a real person. The bars show the same numbers the free App computes.
