Calculate Your Marketing Goals:
You need these three metrics:
1) Revenue Goal: From $10MM this year to $12MM
2) Average Engagement Size: $25,000
3) Close Rate: 50%
Revenue increase of $2MM divided by $25,000 means we need 80 new clients.
At a 50% close rate, we need 160 quotes and proposals to get 80 new clients
Need to generate 400-600 contacts to get 160 opportunities
(rule of thumb: 3-5X)
