THE OUTBOUND ROI PLANNER

Build the business case
for outbound.

Model the economics of qualified meetings using your deal value, win rate, margin, and acquisition costs. Adjust the assumptions to see what would need to be true for the investment to work.

Meeting-to-customer rate10%

The share of held meetings that eventually close.

Revenue per new customer$15,000

THE MATH, IN THE OPEN

Potential is a starting point.
The details make it real.

How we calculate it

Modeled customers = meetings × win rate.
Revenue = expected customers × revenue per customer.
Gross profit = revenue × gross margin.
ROI = (gross profit − acquisition investment) ÷ acquisition investment.

What the model doesn’t assume

It does not account for cash-flow timing, churn, repeat purchases, tax, or costs you have not included. A monthly cohort can take several months to close. Use comparable revenue and cost assumptions before making a decision.
