Plan a pilot
Editable planning model

See the economics after approval.

Model each funnel stage separately, add the variable costs you control and make the assumptions visible before you scale a market.

ILLUSTRATIVE INPUTS ARE LOADED

The starting values are an example scenario, not TheCall performance data or market benchmarks. Replace every input with your own evidence.

What the model calculates

  1. 01

    Contacted = accepted leads × contact rate

  2. 02

    Confirmed = contacted × contact-to-confirm rate

  3. 03

    Delivered = confirmed × delivery-after-confirmation rate

  4. 04

    Gross profit before listed costs = delivered × average order value × gross margin

  5. 05

    Listed variable costs = leads × acquisition cost + leads × calling cost + delivered × fulfilment/delivery cost

  6. 06

    Variable contribution = gross profit before listed costs − listed variable costs

What you may still need to add

This simplified planning model does not automatically include failed-delivery cost, reverse logistics, refunds, chargebacks, payment collection fees, tax, duties, warehousing, software, FX, fixed staff, bad debt or overhead. If they apply, add them to your internal model before making a decision.

Rates are multiplicative and assume the same cohort flows through each stage. Use mature lead cohorts, keep definitions stable and reconcile the source records. Read our guide to approval rate vs delivery rate.
