What this tool does
Buying software always feels like an expense until you see the math. This calculator turns 'maybe I should follow up better' into a concrete dollar figure and an honest ROI multiple.
Plug in your monthly leads, average ticket, and current close rate. We'll show the revenue lift from improving follow-up and the ROI on a $29/month CRM. Numbers, not opinions.
Who it's for
- Solo contractors deciding whether a CRM is worth $29/month.
- Owners pitching a new tool to a skeptical partner or spouse.
- Sales managers building the business case for better follow-up training.

Frequently asked questions
Are these numbers realistic?▾
The +30–50% close-rate lift comes from sales research across service businesses. Your real number depends on how bad your current follow-up is — usually worse than you think.
What if my close rate is already high?▾
Then the lift from better follow-up is smaller — but recovering even one missed lead per month usually pays back the $29.
Why $29/month?▾
