Methodology and assumptions
- Admin time cost: number of reps × admin hours/week × 52 weeks × hourly cost (monthly cost ÷ 160).
- Annual sales: leads/month × 12 × conversion rate.
- Lost sales: annual sales × % of opportunities lost to poor follow-up.
- Recoverable revenue: lost sales × average deal size (assuming a CRM helps recover part of that follow-up).
- ROI: (annual benefit − investment) ÷ investment. Payback: investment ÷ (annual benefit ÷ 12).
This is an order-of-magnitude estimate, not a financial projection. For investment decisions we analyze your processes and data with CRM consulting.
Frequently asked questions
What is CRM ROI?
It is the return your business gets from investing in a CRM: revenue recovered through better follow-up plus admin time saved, compared to the cost of implementation.
How is this estimate calculated?
It uses your sales team data, leads, conversion rate and average deal size, and combines them with the cost of admin time. All formulas and assumptions are explained in the "Methodology" section.
What data do I need?
Number of reps, their monthly cost, admin hours per week, leads per month, average deal size and conversion rate. If you don't know a figure exactly, use an estimate.
What is the formula for CRM ROI?
ROI = (annual benefit − investment) ÷ investment. Annual benefit is the sum of admin time saved and revenue recovered from better follow-up. Add your estimated investment above to see ROI and payback.
Is a CRM worth it for every business?
Not always. If your operation is simple or you already have a system that covers your processes, you may not need a CRM. If you have a sales team doing manual follow-up, losing opportunities or working in spreadsheets, a CRM usually makes sense. We assess this in CRM consulting.
