Sales Target Calculator

Break a revenue goal into realistic sales targets — deals, opportunities, and leads needed each month.

Summary

Work backward: Revenue ÷ deal size = deals needed. Divide by close rate → opportunities. Divide by lead-to-opp rate → leads.

Deals

Leads / month

How to use in a small team

Translate the monthly lead number into a marketing activity plan: how many leads come from SEO, paid, events, referrals? If the gap is large, either raise close rate, raise deal size, or invest more in top-of-funnel.

Reality check

  • Use your 6-month average close rate, not the best month
  • Halve targets first for solo founders to check feasibility
  • For subscription revenue, factor in churn

Frequently asked questions
