This is a lead value sheet, the figure email marketing leads are judged on and a small business works from the close rate and the margin by hand. Leads times the close rate is the customers; customers times the first order is the revenue; revenue times the margin is the gross; gross over leads is the value of a lead; the programme's cost over leads is the cost per lead; and gross less the programme, over leads, is the net per lead. Every figure is yours; the sheet publishes no benchmark. Free, on the page, no account; the paid plan keeps every lead with the campaign that produced it and the customer it became.
Leads to customers to margin
300 leads closing at 10% is 30 customers; at $250 is $7,500 of revenue; at 40% margin is $3,000 of gross, on the worked example. The margin is the figure most lead-value arithmetic forgets and the one that decides the budget.
The value of a lead
$3,000 over 300 leads is $10 a lead. It is the ceiling on what the programme may spend per lead before the list loses money on its first orders.
Cost and net per lead
A $500 programme over 300 leads is $1.67 a lead, $8.33 net. The cost sheet on this site works the programme's cost; this sheet sets it against what the leads are worth.
Email marketing leads: common questions
How do I calculate the value of an email lead?
Close rate times first order times gross margin: $10 on the worked example. The sheet works it from five figures with no account.
What may I spend per lead?
Up to the lead's value on first orders alone, $10 on the worked example; the net of $8.33 after a $500 programme is the room left. Repeat orders raise the ceiling and the paid plan keeps them against the lead.
What close rate should I enter?
Your own, from last quarter's leads and customers; the sheet publishes no benchmark and the worked example's 10% is arithmetic.
