Reverse Engineer Your Goals

Most business owners throw a $3,000 budget at Facebook and “hope” their agency brings them good leads. They wait until the end of the month to see if they made money.

Instead, you must build the target before you spend a dime.

How to use this calculator

  1. State your personal financial goal (e.g., “I want to take home $10,000 in pure cash profit this month”).
  2. Track your average deal margin (Revenue minus Cost of Goods Sold).
  3. Check your historical Cost Per Lead (CPL) and plug in your ad budget layout.
  4. Let the algorithm tell you what percentage of those specific leads must cross the finish line.

If the algorithm spits out 50%, you know immediately that you must give your sales team more leads (by increasing budget), or figure out how to lower the CPL drastically. Give your team realistic, data-backed conversion metrics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your math is completely broken. It means your profit goals are too high, your deal margin is too small, or your ad budget buys too few leads. You must alter one of those three levers until the required close rate dips below a realistic 30%.
If the traffic is cold (Search/Facebook), highly competitive service niches typically see an 8% to 15% closed-won rate. If the traffic is warm (referrals, retargeting, strong brand authority), that can rise to 25% or 30%.
