Andy Elliot Objections Practice Test

Closing ratio is the percentage of conversations that end with a signed agreement. It measures how effectively you move a prospect from initial talk to a commitment, which is exactly what objection handling aims to do—address concerns and guide the prospect toward a decision. A higher closing ratio indicates your objection responses, value proposition, and timing are working well to overcome doubts and lock in a close. It’s a practical metric you can track: number of closes divided by number of conversations or opportunities, helping you forecast revenue and spot where you need to refine scripts, responses, or approach. For example, if you have 20 conversations and 6 end in a signed agreement, your closing ratio is 30%. The other options describe counting objections, speed of proposals, or listings-to-sales ratios, which aren’t what closing ratio measures.
