Your own historical rate. Illustrative default — edit to your numbers. Not sure? Your dispatch log or CSR call notes for the last 12 months will have this.
Conversion
Your own target, not a claimed result. Illustrative default — edit it. Not sure? Use whatever conversion goal you’d set for your own sales team this year.
A direct read from your delivery data, not an assumption.
Typical range 2–4/yr. Illustrative default — edit to your numbers.
What your numbers project
Built from your inputs above — booked stops, avoided emergency runs, will-call accounts on a schedule. No dollar figure for our product, ever.
Every number above is arithmetic on the fields you entered. Accounts on a schedule = your will-call book × your scheduled-fill target. Avoided emergency runs = accounts on a schedule × your emergency-run rate. Gallons and margin follow the same pattern. No hidden multiplier, no invented lift percentage, and the margin figure is your own margin — never a price for our product.
