Worked example

How the number is worked out

An equipment hire firm where enquiries are answered the next working day.

Starting from

Leads a month320
Replying now in24 hours
Replying instead in15 minutes
Conversion today15%

Extra revenue at the faster speed$9,984 – $14,976 a month

Answering the same day rather than the next one is worth about ten to fifteen thousand a month here. Response time is a cost the business is already paying, just not on any invoice.

How this was calculated

Methodology v2026.01.1. These estimates are directional and depend on inputs and assumptions.

  • Lead volume and response time are combined into a simple impact score.
  • Conservative multipliers translate speed into conversion impact.
  • Revenue impact is shown as a range to reflect uncertainty.
  • Inputs are editable to match your funnel.

FAQ

Why is this a preview?

This calculator uses a simplified model while a more granular version is finalized.

Are these estimates exact?

No. They are directional so you can see the size of the leak before refining assumptions.

Can I change the assumptions?

Yes. Adjust the inputs to reflect your business and rerun the numbers.

Why use a range instead of a single number?

Ranges reflect uncertainty and help you stress-test best and worst cases.

Does this include profit?

Use the gross margin input to translate revenue impact into profit impact.
