Lines show each year's monthly average, interpolated between years. The dollar axis is scaled so 2022's revenue per lead sits on the leads line; the shaded gap is revenue below that rate, in $/month. Credit declines = Opportunity Declined $; the red line adds declined dollars back to net. Counters accumulate actual totals; monthly pacing within a year is interpolated evenly.

The scoreboard
Five years: leads up 4.9×, revenue up 4.1×, revenue per lead down 15%
Deltas are vs the prior year. 2026 run-rate = Jan–Aug × 12 ÷ 8. Rev/lead = net revenue ÷ all leads. Close rate = sold ÷ demos. Net sales = sold less declines, rescissions and cancels; avg net sale = net revenue ÷ net sales.
Where the leads come from
From one channel to three: aggregators, then manufacturer, now retail
Share of all leads by campaign source type. Hover a segment for leads, net revenue and rev/lead. Sources under 1% of volume are grouped as Other; Unassigned is leads with no source type tagged (26% in 2022, near zero today).
Why revenue lagged volume
Every step of the funnel converts a little worse than it did in 2022
Blended across all sources, 2022 → 2026 YTD. Set rate = set ÷ all leads; confirmation = confirmed ÷ set; issue → run = run ÷ issued; demo rate = demo ÷ run; close (gross) = sold ÷ demo, before declines.

Discussion points for the 6-month targets
Getting from $11.7M to $13.5M a month — without buying more leads
Since 2022, leads grew 4.9× and revenue 4.1×; revenue per lead fell from $587 to $499. The plan does not ask for more leads. It asks for more from each one: better set and confirmation rates on the two largest channels, and a retail channel that converts like the rest.
ManufacturerSet rate 23% → 35% is the single largest lever in the plan. What has to be true operationally to get there?
Lead AggregatorsConfirmation 76% → 80% and demo 45% → 50%. Which vendors move first?
RetailConfirmation 67% → 78% and issue 60% → 70%. Costco and Sam's are new; what does the playbook look like?
Referral and Internal Lead GenHighest rev/lead in the business. Is $500K/mo referral revenue funded?

Step 4 · Channel strategy
Same lead volume, more revenue per lead
Actual = 2026 Jan–Aug monthly average; goal = 6-month plan. Direction is derived from the lead and $/lead deltas.

2027 tactics are additive to the current set unless a channel is trimmed under the channel strategy.
Steps 6–7 · Execution & measurement
Tier every market, then run the year by tier
How markets get tiered
Each market is assigned a tier from its 2026 YTD performance on the plan metrics:
Does not yet account for market age, capacity, or production constraints. Sales and production review the assignments before the execution plan is locked.
How we measure
Monthly against the 6-month targets by channel and by tier — the same seven metrics. Detail in a separate working session.
Tier assignments to follow the sales/production review.
Anticipated question · 2027 calendar
How do we handle the 5-week Jacuzzi invoice and payroll months?
5th Jacuzzi lead invoice5th payroll weekDouble hit
Why it mattersJacuzzi bills weekly and payroll runs weekly. A month with five of either inflates cost of marketing and total spend for that month; three months carry both.
The answerOut-produce it. In every affected month, install 10 additional jobs per week — a production target the team can rally around, set in advance because the calendar is known.
Extra installs per week

× average job value

Planning estimates: $20,000 average job, 10 incremental installs per week. Actual offset depends on installed margin; final targets to be confirmed with Finance.
