How to charge per lead…
The lead generation business is growing by the day, and Flexxable’s pay-per-lead model has become a bit of a revolution.
(Not to brag, or anything).
But as more people jump the retainer contract ship, they find themselves a little lost.
How much should they charge per lead in their industry?
Is there a way to work it out, or does it all come down to experience?
I get it.
You don’t want to plug away for months, only to find you’re making half the profit you could.
Truth is, every industry is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.
That said, we have a cheeky little method to figure out what to charge.
Use it as a general rule of thumb, and it should point you in the right direction.
The simple calculation goes like this:
- Work out the Average Order Value (AOV) of the customer. E.g. a converted lead could be worth $3,000 in a particular industry.
- Divide the AOV by 3. ($3,000/3 = $1,000)
- Figure out the 5% conversion rate (5/100 x $1,000 = $50)
And lo and behold, you’ve got your price per lead. In this case, $50.
This is a straightforward calculation to get you started.
We use this very same method at Flexxable, and so far it hasn’t caused us any problems.
Remember, this is just a ballpark figure, but it’s a great way to figure out how much your services are worth.
So you’ve figured out how much to charge per lead.
