Instructions
   
Enter your values in the open cells and the results will be automatically calculated. You can adjust the various input values to see their impact on the quantity of leads that need to be generated to hit your revenue target for the period.

Enter your conversion rates as whole numbers from 0 to 100. The values range from 0% to 100%.  If you don't distinguish between inquiries and leads, you may enter 100% for "inquiries to leads." The calculator will generate the same number of inquiries and leads. The same convention can be applied if you don't distinguish between opportunities and qualified opportunities, you may enter 100% for "opportunities to qualified opportunities." The calculator will generate the same number of opportunities and qualified opportunities.
