I knew I wanted to be a top price point. I wanted to do less work, and do high-end stuff. Now, I don’t want to pretend I didn’t do a shitload. This is like a 10-year, overnight success program . . .

Continuing to work backwards, benchmarks from both TOPO and The Bridge Group reveal 60% of SDR-sourced meetings convert into opportunities. The average no-show rate is around 15% and another 30% of leads are disqualified on other criteria; the math here is (1 - 0.15) x (1 - 0.3) = 0.6. So, creating 2,000 opportunities requires scheduling 2000 / 0.6 = 3,333 meetings.
