How it works

Three steps. No surprises.

STEP 01
Plug your numbers

Spend, leads, close rate, deal size. The four numbers your CFO already has on a spreadsheet somewhere.

STEP 02
Read the ROI

A monthly ROI under 100% means marketing gives back less than it costs. Under 0% means cash is bleeding.

STEP 03
Walk away from anything above the ceiling

Any channel that costs more per lead than your ceiling will not pay for itself before the deal closes.

FAQ

Questions people ask about this tool.

How accurate is this?
It is arithmetic on the five numbers you type, not an estimate against anyone else. We deliberately do not compare you to an industry average, because the published averages for Malaysia either do not exist or are quietly imported from other markets. The answer is only as accurate as your own figures.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Answer the five questions and the verdict appears immediately, including what you pay per enquiry and how far that is from what you can afford. We ask for an email only if you want the working behind it — the unit economics, the what-if tool, the PDF and the budget planner.
What do the five questions ask?
Your gross profit margin, your average deal value, the share of enquiries that become customers, your monthly ad spend, and how many enquiries that spend produced last month. All five are answerable from memory. The last two are required, because without them there is no actual cost per enquiry to judge.
How do I calculate marketing ROI for a B2B company?
Divide the revenue your marketing generated (minus the marketing cost) by the marketing cost, then multiply by 100. The hard part in B2B is attributing revenue across 6-10 touchpoints and 3-6 month sales cycles — this calculator works backwards from your deal value, close rate, and margin instead, so you get a usable answer in minutes.
What is a good target cost per lead for B2B?
There is no universal number — a sustainable CPL depends on your average deal value, close rate, and profit margin. Enter those three numbers and the calculator returns the maximum you can pay per lead while staying profitable, which is a far more useful target than any industry average.
