Turn on the warm assets we already have to hit the number now, while we build a paid engine that keeps it going after peak season.
One rep dials all day; referrals do the rest. About 5 demos a month. Nobody has built the inbound side yet, so there's nothing to fix, only to build.
No Google Ads running. Roughly 110 organic visits a month. The whole search channel is wide open, no ground to defend, just ground to take.
Contractors feel the pain now, in summer. People shop for the fix in the fall. Our 90 days (Jul to Oct) cover both: warm now, paid into the fall search peak.
How I'll operate: I don't scale a channel until it pays and repeats. Discover the real numbers, prove them, then scale. No internal data yet, so every figure here is a stated assumption to validate with your team. I show the math so we can swap in your real numbers live.
At least 50 a month, and built to go higher. The target is a minimum of 50, and we can generate more depending on the funnel metrics we uncover and the media budget available to scale the channels that work.
Referral and organic already add about 5 a month on top. All three bets run on assets you already own; my other ideas are additive, a roadmap for after the 90 days.
One caveat, on purpose: a brand-new ad account needs a 2-4 week learning phase, so month 1 paid is a controlled test, not a place to cut fast.
| Customer lifetime | LTV | Paid, early | Paid, tuned |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 mo (very conservative) | $6k | 1.4× | 2.6× |
| 18 mo | $9k | 2.0× | 3.9× |
| 24 mo (realistic) | $12k | 2.7× | 5.1× |
| 30 mo | $15k | 3.4× | 6.4× |
LTV = $500/mo (captured during the process) × lifetime, then ÷ CAC. 3× is the healthy line. Early = paid before optimization; tuned = after we improve targeting, page and message-match. Tight at 12 months, but at the real 20-30 month range it clears 3×. Warm demos cost about $0.
≈ $35-40k media over 90 days, and it buys the booked-call ramp above (hover for the split). Media only. We run the first 90 days on the tools you already have (Mailchimp, HubSpot, Calendly) and add tooling when the volume earns it.
The warm bets carry the early number at almost no media cost. Most of the spend goes to the one channel built to scale: paid.
All good bets. All slower than a 10× in 90 days. Sequenced for after, so we never mistake motion for progress.
Hit the number now with what we already have.
Build the machine that keeps hitting it.
