Your GTM health score is a 0-100 measure of go-to-market effectiveness across 7 weighted components: lead response time, conversion rates, sales cycle length, tech stack integration, win rate, data hygiene, and process documentation. The average B2B company scores 47 -- anything below 50 signals significant revenue leaks worth $50K-$500K+ annually. Use our ROI Calculator to estimate your specific revenue impact.

How Do You Calculate Your GTM Health Score?
How Do I Assess Lead Response Time? (20 points max)
Measure your average time from lead capture to first sales contact. Research shows responding within 5 minutes makes you 21x more likely to qualify leads. See our speed-to-lead implementation guide for tactics to hit the 5-minute benchmark.
Scoring:
- • Under 5 minutes = 20 points
- • 5-30 minutes = 15 points
- • 30-60 minutes = 10 points
- • 1-4 hours = 5 points
- • 4+ hours = 0 points
Where to find it: Check your sales engagement platform (Amplemarket, Outreach, Salesloft) or CRM activity logs. Calculate as: (time of first sales touch - time of lead creation).
How Do I Evaluate MQL to SQL Conversion Rate? (15 points max)
Calculate your Marketing Qualified Lead to Sales Qualified Lead conversion rate. This measures how well marketing and sales are aligned on ICP and lead quality.
Scoring:
- • 40%+ conversion = 15 points
- • 25-40% conversion = 10 points
- • 10-25% conversion = 5 points
- • Under 10% conversion = 0 points
Where to find it: HubSpot: Reports → Marketing → Marketing Performance. Salesforce: Reports → Lead Reports → Lead Lifecycle. Formula: (SQLs created / MQLs created) × 100.
How Do I Measure Sales Cycle Length? (15 points max)
Determine average days from first contact to closed-won. Longer cycles indicate friction in your sales process or poor qualification.
Scoring (by segment):
SMB:
- • Under 30 days = 15 pts
- • 30-60 days = 10 pts
- • 60-90 days = 5 pts
- • 90+ days = 0 pts
Enterprise:
- • Under 90 days = 15 pts
- • 90-180 days = 10 pts
- • 180-270 days = 5 pts
- • 270+ days = 0 pts
Where to find it: CRM → Opportunities Report → Group by Closed Won → Calculate: (Close Date - Create Date) average over last 90 days.
How Do I Audit Tech Stack Integration? (15 points max)
Count your integrated sales and marketing tools with bi-directional data sync. Disconnected tools create data silos and manual work. Use our Stack Grader to evaluate your current tech stack integration score.
Scoring:
- • CRM + 3+ tools fully integrated = 15 points
- • CRM + 2 tools integrated = 10 points
- • CRM + 1 tool integrated = 5 points
- • CRM only or no integration = 0 points
What counts as integrated: Sales engagement (Amplemarket, Outreach), Call intelligence (Attention, Gong), Visitor ID (Warmly, Clearbit), Marketing automation (HubSpot, Marketo). Must have bi-directional sync, not just one-way.
How Do I Analyze Win Rate? (15 points max)
Calculate percentage of opportunities that close as won. Low win rates indicate poor qualification, weak demos, or pricing issues.
Scoring:
- • 30%+ win rate = 15 points
- • 20-30% win rate = 10 points
- • 10-20% win rate = 5 points
- • Under 10% win rate = 0 points
Where to find it: CRM → Opportunities Report → Filter to Closed (Won + Lost) last 90 days → Calculate: (Closed Won / Total Closed) × 100.
How Do I Review Data Hygiene? (10 points max)
Audit your CRM for missing or stale data. Poor data hygiene causes bad reporting, missed follow-ups, and inefficient workflows.
Scoring:
- • 80%+ fields populated = 10 points
- • 60-80% fields populated = 7 points
- • 40-60% fields populated = 4 points
- • Under 40% fields populated = 0 points
How to assess: Spot-check 20 recent records (contacts or opportunities). Count required fields: Email, Phone, Company, Title, Industry, Revenue, Employee Count, Last Activity. Calculate % populated.
