How the calculation works

Unique prospects = meetings held ÷ (reply rate × positive reply share × booking rate × attendance rate). Convert each percentage to a decimal first, then round prospects up.

For 20 held meetings, a 5% reply rate, 25% positive reply share, 50% booking rate, and 80% attendance rate imply 4,000 unique prospects, 200 replies, 50 positive replies, and 25 bookings.

Count each person once across the sequence. Replies include negative replies; positive replies are the subset interested in a conversation. Follow-up emails do not add unique prospects. Expected values can be fractional and do not guarantee outcomes.

A booked meeting becomes a held meeting only when the prospect attends. The calculator does not estimate sending capacity, deliverability, qualified opportunities, or revenue.
