How to use this

Use rough numbers. The goal is direction, not accounting precision.

Step 1

Estimate monthly leads

Count form fills, phone calls, chat leads, ad leads, referrals, and social messages that should become CRM records.

Step 2

Estimate the leak

A leaked lead is not followed up fast, never assigned, missing from the CRM, or left stale with no next step.

Step 3

Read the recovery number

The recovery estimate shows what could be saved if automation catches some of those missed opportunities.

Enter your numbers

Use your best estimate. If you are not sure, start with the defaults and adjust one field at a time.

New leads per month Every inquiry that should become a CRM record: calls, forms, chat, ads, referrals, and DMs. Percent not followed up within 24 hours Include leads that get missed, assigned late, never logged, or sit with no next step. If unsure, use 15-30%. Close rate on properly followed-up leads Out of every 100 good leads that receive normal follow-up, how many become customers? If unsure, use 10-20%. Average gross profit per new customer Use profit after direct costs, not total revenue. For retainers, use first-month or expected first-project profit. Estimated recovery after CRM automation The share of lost opportunity you think better routing, reminders, and follow-up can recover. Conservative estimate: 30-60%.

Simple formula

Monthly leads x leak rate x close rate x gross profit = monthly profit at risk.

Plain-English readout

Update the fields to see what your CRM leak may be costing.

What the results mean

Leads at risk means leads that may not get a fast, accountable follow-up.

Lost deals estimates how many customers those leaked leads could have become.

Monthly profit at risk is the possible gross profit sitting inside the broken handoff.

Potential recovery is the conservative amount automation may help save, not a guarantee.

A CRM leak is not only a software issue. It usually appears when the business has no clear handoff between lead capture, ownership, follow-up, scheduling, and status updates.

Capture

Do all inbound leads enter one source of truth?

Respond

Does the right person know within minutes?

Recover

Does the system keep trying when the lead does not answer?
