How do you track close rate?

New to the group, glad to be here!

Quick question for other owners — how are you tracking close rate?

By rep, or just overall for the company? I feel like a lot of us can see how many leads come in but lose track of where proposals actually die in the process.

Would love to hear how others handle it.

  • Jobber actually tracks two separate conversion stages, most people only check one:

    1. Requests then  Quote/Job (Insights > Reports > Requests, or your Requests tab)
      This shows how many leads that come in actually turn into a quote or job at all. If your real leak is leads going cold before you even send a proposal, this is where you'd see it, and it's the number almost nobody checks.

    2. Quote → Job (Insights > Reports > Quotes Report)
      This is your actual close rate, converted quotes ÷ sent quotes. It's got 6-month trend charts and breaks down by dollar value too. If you want it by rep instead of company-wide, there's a separate Salesperson Performance Report that splits conversion by individual.

    Most owners only look at #2 and wonder why their close rate looks fine while leads still feel like they're disappearing, the real leak is often sitting in #1, before a quote's even sent.

    Hope that helps someone.
