Dashboard Explained

Closed proposal outcomes with fee values, client types and reasons for loss where recorded. Wins & Losses is the retrospective business development tool — it shows what the firm is winning and losing, and at what value, enabling systematic improvement in proposal strategy and client targeting.

How to use it

Review Wins & Losses quarterly to identify patterns in what the firm is winning and losing. If win rate by count is healthy but win rate by value is low, the firm is winning smaller opportunities and losing the larger ones — consider whether business development effort should be redirected. Loss reason data is only as good as the recording discipline: if most losses show blank reasons, encourage PMs to capture feedback from clients after decisions are made, even informally.

Understanding your data

Key Fields

How it's Calculated

Won Proposal Value

Total fee estimate of all proposals with a Won status and a decision date in the selected period

Lost Proposal Value

Total fee estimate of all proposals with a Lost status and a decision date in the selected period

Win Rate % (by Value)

Won proposal value divided by total closed proposal value (Won + Lost). Measures the proportion of competed fee won by value

Win Rate % (by Count)

Number of Won proposals divided by total closed proposals. Measures the proportion of opportunities won regardless of size

Loss Reason

Reason for loss entered on the proposal record in Total Synergy (e.g. fee, relationship, scope, not proceeding). Only populated if recorded by the proposal owner

Client Type

New client vs repeat/existing client, based on whether the client has prior projects in Total Synergy
