Inputs: monthly or four-week retainer, setup fee, billing periods/year, booked meetings, show rate, qualification rate, opportunity rate, close rate, contract value, gross margin and analysis months.

Held Meetings = Booked Meetings x Show Rate

Qualified Held Meetings = Held Meetings x Qualification Rate

Opportunities = Qualified Meetings x Opportunity Rate

Expected Customers = Opportunities x Close Rate

Expected Revenue = Customers x Average Contract Value

Gross Profit = Revenue x Gross Margin

ROI = (Gross Profit - Program Cost) / Program Cost

Also show cost per booked meeting, held meeting, qualified meeting, opportunity and acquired customer. Four-week billing should use about 13.04 periods/year rather than 12.
