These are conservative industry averages — your real ROI is almost certainly higher.

This calculator uses widely-published cold email benchmarks: 3–8% reply rate, 10–15% positive reply rate, 60–75% show rate, and 15–25% close rate on qualified opportunities (sources: Lemlist, Smartlead, Apollo, Instantly aggregate data).

Our SES™ clients consistently outperform these averages — typically 2–4× the reply rate and 30–50% higher positive reply rate — because of better targeting, deliverability infrastructure, and offer positioning. So treat this number as your floor, not your ceiling.
