FAQ

Using this calculator

What counts as a qualified lead?

A contact from the event that sales agreed is worth pursuing — a booked meeting, a demo request, or an opportunity created in your CRM. Use the number your sales team would actually accept, not raw scans.

Should I include soft ROI like brand and retention?

This calculator focuses on pipeline you can defend to finance. Brand lift, customer retention and partner value are real but harder to attribute — note them separately when you present.

Where do I get a realistic win rate?

Ask sales for the historical close rate on event-sourced opportunities. If you have no baseline, 15–25% is a common planning range for warm event leads.
