Lead to Opportunity Conversion: Measure the share of leads that become qualified sales opportunities.
Age 5Explain it to a 5-year-oldStart with a picture
Imagine using Lead to Opportunity Conversion to answer this question: measure the share of leads that become qualified sales opportunities? Enter Total leads, Qualified opportunities, Average cost per lead; the calculator shows Lead-to-opportunity conversion. Try changing one number and watch what happens to Lead-to-opportunity conversion. The answer tells you Lead-to-opportunity conversion.
Age 15Explain it to a 15-year-oldConnect it to the formula
Use stable qualification rules and matching cohorts so changes in lead quality are not confused with process changes. The rule is Lead-to-opportunity rate = qualified opportunities ÷ total leads. Its input values are Total leads, Qualified opportunities, Average cost per lead, and the main result is Lead-to-opportunity conversion. Try changing one number and watch what happens to Lead-to-opportunity conversion.
CollegeExplain it at college levelState the model precisely
This tool models one operating decision from explicitly supplied company assumptions. The implemented relation is Lead-to-opportunity rate = qualified opportunities ÷ total leads, evaluated from Total leads, Qualified opportunities, Average cost per lead to produce Lead-to-opportunity conversion. Use stable qualification rules and matching cohorts so changes in lead quality are not confused with process changes. The model omits unentered taxes, cash timing, legal constraints and market uncertainty. Compare the output with company records and a downside scenario before committing resources.
The decision this tool supports
Measure the share of leads that become qualified sales opportunities.
Why the business model works
Use stable qualification rules and matching cohorts so changes in lead quality are not confused with process changes.
Inputs and operating assumptions
This model uses Total leads, Qualified opportunities, Average cost per lead. Keep currencies, accounting treatment and time periods consistent with one another.
The formula
Lead-to-opportunity rate = qualified opportunities ÷ total leads
What the calculator produces
The primary output is Lead-to-opportunity conversion; it also exposes Cost per qualified opportunity, Unqualified leads. Change one assumption at a time so the comparison remains explainable.
Before using the result in a decision
This compact model cannot capture every tax, accounting, legal, market or operational condition. Compare the output with current company records, cash timing and the downside scenario before committing resources.
