BlueFlight CONSULTING

Step 1 of 2

Tell us about your business.

Just your numbers. We do the math.

When someone buys from you, how much do they usually spend?

Your average sale, in dollars.

Out of that sale, how much do you actually keep as profit?

After your costs, in dollars. Not the full sale amount, just what lands in your pocket.

How many times a year does a customer buy from you again?

Use 1 if they usually buy once.

How many new customers do you want each month?

Pick a number that feels realistic.

Don't guess. Fix your real numbers.

Right now this uses typical small-business numbers: 70% serious, 30% show up, 40% buy. If your business runs even a little different from that, your real ad budget could be off by hundreds of dollars a month. Takes 10 seconds to fix.

Of the people who contact you, how many are actually serious? (%)

Of those, how many actually show up to talk to you? (%)

Of those, how many say yes and buy? (%)

We fill these in with numbers that are typical for a small business. Change them if you already know your own.

Please fill in your average sale, your profit per sale, and your goal before you continue.

01 · What a customer is worth

Here's what one customer means to your business.

02 · Your funnel

03 · The number that matters

The most you should ever pay for one lead.

This is the price for ONE lead, like a price tag, not what you spend in a day. Pay less than this for a lead, you come out ahead. Pay more, you lose money on that lead.
