What percent of sell-side engagements close?

I am interested to get thoughts on what percent of sell-side engagements close? Does this very by deal size? It seems to be lower-middle market firms will have a lower close rate, maybe even sub-50% based on some conversations I have had. I have not found any data about this topic.
