Work out what a lead is worth before you buy more

Usman Kayani, coaching founders through their real numbers, keeps finding the same gap: nobody has worked out what a lead is worth, so every budget call is guesswork dressed as strategy. The maths is short, close rate times customer value, and with it a $40 lead that closes one in five beats a $10 lead that never converts. Know what a lead is worth and cost per lead stops being the argument.

๐Ÿ’ก Why it matters

Every cost-per-lead target, channel budget and 'is this working' argument rests on a number most teams have never actually calculated, so they end up optimising for cheap leads instead of profitable ones.

Keep snacking
