Bill Nye · The Science of Sales

The Pipeline Is a Machine

6 min · +100 XP

Sales isn't luck — it's a machine with inputs and outputs. Change an input, measure the output. That's the experiment!

Every stage has a conversion rate

Leads → meetings → opportunities → closed-won. Each arrow is a percentage. Your job is to find the leakiest arrow and patch it.

Work backward from the goal

Want 4 deals at a 25% close rate? You need 16 opportunities. At a 40% meeting-to-opp rate, that is 40 meetings. The math tells you the activity.

Activity is the only input you control

You can't force a yes, but you can run more clean experiments. Volume plus a measured process beats hoping.

Key takeawayDiagnose the leakiest conversion step before adding more leads.

Quick check

You close 25% of opportunities. You need 5 new deals this quarter. How many opportunities do you need in the pipeline?
