HOT TAKES
After we released our demo form conversion rate report in January, we got a lot of follow-up questions. One of the most popular requests was for conversion rates based on company maturity.
So… we pulled those numbers.
Major kudos to those of you who requested these numbers, because wow. There are huge discrepancies between Series A and Post-IPO:
As companies grow in maturity, their Qualified Booked Meeting Conversion Rate also increases. Our interpretation is that the more mature companies get, the more mature their entire GTM motion becomes — high conversion rates are a team sport, after all!
So if you’re Series A and your conversion rate from qualified hand-raiser to booked meeting is above 59%, you’re well above average. Good for you! 🎉
Are there other segments you’re curious about seeing benchmarks for? And any additional parts of the funnel? Reply to let me know, we’d love to keep sharing these insights!
