What is Open Opportunities (Weighted Revenue)?
Open Opportunities (Weighted Revenue) is calculated by multiplying the expected revenue of a product or service by its estimated close rate to determine potential revenue. Open Weighted Revenue is a metric that helps businesses to determine the financial value of potential opportunities. It looks at opportunities from both a qualitative and quantitative perspective, taking into account the customer's readiness to buy, market demand, and external factors that may progress or delay the ability to close the deal.
Open Opportunities (Weighted Revenue) Formula
How to calculate Open Opportunities (Weighted Revenue)
Company A has a volume-based business and generates 200 product-qualified leads (PQLs) every month for a product that has a subscription price of $3,000 annually. Of these PQLs, the probability of a paid customer win is 20%. Therefore, the Weighted Revenue potential for the 200 PQLs is $120K. Company B sells big-ticket items. An account representative is working on two deals. The first one, worth $100K, is well progressed and currently seeking final sign-off by the CFO. The weighting or probability assigned to this deal is 90%. The second deal, worth $75K is still in the qualifying stages and weighted at 30%. Therefore, the Open Weighted Revenue potential for these two deals is $112.5K.
