Where the opportunity comes from
How the estimate works
annual jobs × rate reduction
Only the gap between your current and target rates is counted.
direct cost + refillable margin
Capacity value is discounted by the percentage of open slots you can refill.
(opportunity − annual cost) ÷ annual cost
Annual cost recovery is the number of weeks of modeled savings needed to cover a full year of subscription fees.
Example inputs are illustrative, not industry benchmarks. This models a callback reduction you choose; SMM does not guarantee that reduction. This is a planning estimate, not a guarantee. It excludes taxes, financing, discounts, seasonality, implementation time, and revenue that does not convert to gross profit. Use your own operating data for a decision-quality result.
