Proposals Win-Rate Lift Calculator
Calculate the projected annual revenue lift from improving your proposal win rate — through faster send time, recipient tracking, cleaner branding, and CRM-integrated workflow.
B2B average is ~21% (Salesforce State of Sales 2024)
Modern proposal platforms typically lift 10-25% via faster send, tracking, and cleaner format
Projected annual revenue lift
$135,000
That's the additional revenue your current proposal volume could produce by moving win rate from 25.0% to 28.7% — without sending a single extra proposal.
AMW Proposals is built into AMW Suite — proposal send, e-sign, tracking, and CRM activity all in one workspace. See the Suite →

How to Use This Calculator
The calculator takes your current proposals-per-month, win rate, and average deal size to project current annual revenue. It then applies a win-rate lift percentage to show projected lifted revenue and the gap between them.
Win-rate lift comes from three sources: faster send time (most proposals lose to the vendor that responds first), recipient tracking (knowing when a proposal is opened/viewed lets sales follow up at the right moment), and cleaner format (consistent branding and reduced errors). Modern proposal platforms typically lift 10-25% on these mechanics alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a realistic win-rate lift?
For teams moving from manual proposal workflow (Word/PDF + email) to a modern proposal platform: 10-15% is typical. Teams adding strong recipient analytics + AI-assisted follow-up timing often hit 20-25%. Above 30% usually requires deeper changes (deal qualification, pricing strategy) beyond just the proposal tool.
How is the projected lift calculated?
Current win rate × (1 + lift %) = lifted win rate. The lifted rate is then applied to your existing proposal volume. The formula is transparent — input changes update output in real time.
What if my current win rate is already high?
The lift % applies multiplicatively. A team at 40% win rate seeing a 15% lift reaches 46% — smaller absolute gain than a team going from 20% to 23%, but still real revenue. The dollar value depends on deal size more than starting win rate.
Why does proposal speed matter so much?
Industry research (Drift 2023): 78% of B2B buyers purchase from the vendor that responds to their inquiry first. Responding within 5 minutes vs 30 minutes increases conversion likelihood 9x. Proposal speed is a direct competitive advantage.
Does the math include the cost of the proposal platform?
No — the calculator shows gross revenue lift, not net of tool cost. AMW Proposals is bundled into AMW Suite, so platform cost is part of the overall Suite quote rather than a per-line-item charge.
What if our proposals are highly custom?
Modern proposal platforms still help — even with fully-custom content, the tracking, e-sign, and CRM activity capture deliver lift. Teams with 100% custom proposals typically see 5-15% lift rather than 15-25%, but it's still material.
