“Are we even making money on outbound?”
No one ever knew and it was always a never-ending discussion. So I built a super simple Outbound Sales ROI Calculator to show:
- your real ROI
- your break-even ACV
- whether your current setup is profitable or losing money
- how reply rate changes affect everything
No emails, no signup, totally free.
If you try it, let me know if anything feels confusing or if I should add more inputs. Happy to tweak!
