First Appointment-to-Sales Ratio
Monitor the number of sales appointments that move onto the next stage in the sales funnel.

Overview
While a high number of sales appointments is a great indicator of initial interest, a high ratio of prospects moving from the first stage to the second stage, the proposal stage, is a better indicator of actual intent to buy. Monitoring the First Appointment-to-Sales Ratio metrics helps you to understand how effective and persuasive your sales channel is.
