What is Quota Attainment?

Short answer: The percentage of an assigned sales quota that a rep or team actually achieves in a period.

Definition

The percentage of an assigned sales quota that a rep or team actually achieves in a period.

Formula

Revenue closed / Quota assigned x 100

How to measure

Divide the actual revenue a rep closes in the period by their assigned quota for that same period.

Why track it

Aggregate quota attainment across a team reveals whether targets are realistically calibrated or whether the team is systematically under-resourced.

Example

A rep closing $450,000 against a $500,000 quota reports 90% quota attainment.
