Do you calculate how much you lose in your opportunities?
Most IT founders I meet think their sales cost is what they pay for salaries and tools, but that is not 100% true. There is one more costly element.
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œMy salesperson costs $300/month.โ€
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œOur tools cost another $100.โ€
So, they assume their total cost/investment is about $5,000 per year.
But thatโ€™s not the real cost. Thatโ€™s just the visible expense.
The hidden cost is what time you lose because your sales system doesnโ€™t work.
Let me give you real numbers from our clients.
On average, when our clients fix their sales process, they generate around $300,000 in new pipeline within the first year.
Hereโ€™s how it usually plays out:
1 month setting up strategy and system
3 months generating leads, clients and building a pipeline.
7 months of consistent revenue and pipeline growth
So, if your system is broken or your sales team is untrained, your real cost isnโ€™t $5,000 โ€”
It could be $305,000 per year ($5K in expenses + $300K in lost opportunities).
Have you ever calculated your lost opportunity cost?
