Quota Attainment
The percentage of assigned quota that a rep, team, or company achieved in a given period — the fundamental measure of revenue performance against plan.
What it shows
Attainment distribution reveals the health of the sales team. If fewer than 50% of reps hit quota, the issue is typically quota design or market conditions, not individual performance. Tracking distribution (not just average) is essential.
Formula
Quota Attainment = Actual Revenue Closed ÷ Quota × 100. Track the full distribution — what % of reps are above 100%, 75-100%, 50-75%, and below 50% — not just the team average.
