How we calculate ROI

What your team is worth,
in dollars you can check.

Every Monday your chief of staff reports what the team did and what it was worth. Here's exactly how that number is built, and what we refuse to count.

The formula

Three kinds of value, added up and compared with what you pay. Our target is a 2 to 3x return: every dollar you spend should come back as two or three. Every line links back to real tasks and real customers.

01

Time back

Hours of work the team did, valued at what you'd pay someone to do it.

02

Revenue won

Sales and bookings that came directly from the team's work.

03

Costs avoided

Tools or services you actually stopped paying for.

Value

Monthly value

We aim for this to be 2 to 3 times what you pay.

How each part is counted

01

Time back

We never guess per task. Each kind of task has a fixed number of minutes, based on how long a person typically spends on it. The team logs every task, and the minutes add up.

Your hour is valued at what you'd pay a person to do that work, which you set. If you'd rather count your own time, use your own rate.

02

Revenue won

Only revenue we can trace to a specific action. A booking counts when a customer the team contacted books or buys soon after, and wasn't already on the calendar.

Counted: a lapsed client who rebooks after a win-back note. An inquiry the front desk answered that turned into a paid visit. A reorder after a reminder.

Not counted: customers who were already booked, sales with no contact from the team, and anything we can't point to.
03

Costs avoided

Only money you actually stop spending, like a review tool, a scheduling add-on or agency hours your team now covers.

Counted from the month you cancel. A tool you could cancel but keep isn't counted.

Estimate yours

Start with the total, then open any role to change its numbers. Defaults are typical small business costs, not our claims. After your first month, the real numbers come from your scoreboard.

$0 a year

    Target return: 2 to 3x. We agree on price after your first month, using your real number, so you only pay in proportion to what the team delivered.

    What we won't count

    Opens and clicks

    Activity isn't value. Only bookings, sales and finished work count.

    Business you'd have had anyway

    Customers already booked or buying on their own aren't credited to the team.

    Made-up time

    Minutes come from the fixed table above, never an estimate per task.

    Where you'll see it

    Every Monday the chief of staff sends your scoreboard: hours back, revenue won, what each agent did, and what needs you. Tap any number to see the tasks and customers behind it.
