Calculation Notes

Monthly/Annual Leads: SDRs x Leads/SDR/Month. Ramp-up (if selected) applies 60% productivity for months 1-4.

Pipeline Generated: Annual Leads (Year 1) x Average Deal Size.

New Deals & Revenue Realization: Calculated monthly based on leads generated -- months prior, using the --% conversion rate.

Year 1 vs Year 2: Metrics are aggregated based on when new deals *close* (Month 1-12 for Year 1, Month 13-24 for Year 2).

Est. Revenue from Y1 Leads Closing in Y2: Value of Year 1 leads expected to close in Year 2 due to sales cycle delay.

Year 1 Investment: Sum of 12 months of SDR costs (Base Salary + SaaS + RevUp Force) plus any Illicium Fractional Sales Management costs incurred within the first 12 months (based on selected duration). Displayed in Financial Analysis and ROI sections.

Year 2 Investment: Sum of 12 months of SDR base costs (Base Salary + SaaS + RevUp Force). Assumes Illicium Fractional Sales Management cost does not extend into Year 2. Displayed in ROI section.

Avg. Monthly Costs (Year 1): Individual cost components (Salary, SaaS, RevUp) averaged over 12 months. Total Avg. Monthly Cost includes these plus the averaged Illicium Mgmt cost (Total Y1 Investment / 12).

Illicium Investment: Shows total costs for RevUp Force (annual) and Illicium Fractional Management (over selected duration).

Cost Per Lead (CPL): Year 1 Investment ÷ Year 1 Qualified Leads.

Cost Per Acquisition (CPA): Year 1 Investment ÷ Year 1 New Deals Closed.

Breakeven: The first month where cumulative realized revenue meets or exceeds cumulative monthly costs (incl. RevUp Force & Illicium service costs when active).

Year 1 ROI: ((Year 1 Realized Revenue – Year 1 Investment) / Year 1 Investment) x 100%.

Year 2 ROI: ((Year 2 Total Revenue – Year 2 Investment) / Year 2 Investment) x 100%. Year 2 Investment typically only includes base costs (SDR Salary + SaaS + RevUp Force).

Lifetime Value (LTV) Basis: Adjusts calculations for renewals and lifetime ROI. 18m = 1.5x multiplier, 24m = 2x multiplier on initial deal size for value calculations.

Lifetime ROI: ((Total Lifetime Value of New Deals Closed in Period – Investment in Period) / Investment in Period) x 100%.
