​
Revenue Target: $100,000

To achieve this target, we've broken down the numbers:
-
Paid Users Needed:
-
$100,000 revenue / $1,200 (per user) = 83 paid users

83 paid users / 4% (conversion rate) = 2,075 free users
-
-
Contacts Needed:

To reach our goal, we aim for 10% of these contacts to engage with our platform.
-
2,075 free users / 10% (conversion rate) = 20,750 contacts needed
