Cash/Booking vs Close Rate โ€” All Segments

Data Quality โ€” Are We There Yet?
How to read the progress bars below: Each bar shows how close we are to having enough bookings for a ยฑ5% margin of error at 95% confidence. Green = reliable. Yellow = directional. Red = interesting signal but don't bet on it yet.
The error bars on each chart represent the 95% confidence interval โ€” the range where the true close rate almost certainly falls. Wide bars = small sample. Narrow bars = you can trust the number.

Close Rate by Role (with 95% CI error bars)

Cash/Booking by Role

Role Segment Detail
"Build course/coaching" is the highest-value goal segment by far ($1,350/booking = 3.6ร— baseline) but only 28 bookings โ€” confidence interval spans 24%โ€“58%. The pattern is real but needs more data before you optimize hard toward it.

Cash/Booking by Goal vs Baseline ($376)

Total Cash Collected by Goal

Goal Segment Detail
$200k+ income generates $1,148/booking (3ร— baseline) โ€” but every income segment is currently INSUFFICIENT DATA for reliable close rates. The income signal is directionally strong but CIs are all ยฑ13โ€“42%. You need ~50+ bookings per bracket to be confident.

โœ… US Citizen โ€” The Hardest Qualifier

$0 from non-US

23 non-US bookings โ†’ 0 closes โ†’ $0 cash. All $64,611 came from US citizens. With 95% confidence, non-US true close rate is below 14.3%. This is a decisive disqualifier.

๐ŸŸฃ Readiness โ€” Best Leading Indicator

30.4% vs 6.8%

"Ready now if right fit" closes at 30.4% ($538/booking) vs "Ready in 30 days" at 6.8% ($21/booking). Problem: only 214 of 466 answered this question. Fix the form.

โš ๏ธ Calendar Source Matters

Strategy (TRG): 3.7%

Strategy Session calls close at 20.7% ($443/booking). Strategy Session TRG closes at 3.7% ($15/booking). 27 TRG bookings โ€” medium confidence on this difference but the gap is striking.

๐Ÿ”ด Segments to Deprioritize

$0โ€“$19/booking

Scale freelance ($131/bkd), Unemployed ($19/bkd), Non-US ($0/bkd), Eng Manager ($0/bkd). These segments are consuming sales time with near-zero commercial return.

What You Can Act On NOW (High Confidence)

1. Hard Qualify on US Citizenship

23 non-US bookings, $0 cash. This is statistically decisive. Add a pre-qualifier that removes non-US leads before they book a call. Estimated impact: reduces wasted call time, no revenue loss.

2. Focus Setter Effort on Senior/Staff Roles

Senior Dev + Staff/Principal = most reliable conversion + $429โ€“$594/booking. Mid-level converts at nearly half the rate. The ideal avatar is already paying senior-level money.

3. Fix the Readiness Question Dropout

Only 54% of leads answer the readiness question. "Ready now if right fit" shows 4.5ร— better close rate and 25ร— better cash/booking vs "Ready in 30 days." This is your best pre-call lead scorer.

Watch Closely โ€” Strong Signal, Needs Confirmation

4. "Build Course/Coaching" Goal = Highest Value

$1,350/booking = 3.6ร— baseline. 39.3% close rate. But n=28 โ€” need ~50 more bookings to confirm. Don't restructure messaging around this yet, but watch it closely. If it holds at 30+ close rate with 60+ bookings, it changes your ICP.

5. $200k+ Income = 3ร— Cash

$1,148/booking vs $376 baseline. Medium confidence (n=41). The pattern is real but CI is ยฑ14%. Consider a soft qualifier or separate funnel track for this bracket once you hit 60 bookings.

6. Director/VP/CTO โ€” Watch Carefully

50% close rate. Sounds amazing. But n=8 โ€” true rate could be 19%โ€“81%. Need 20+ bookings minimum before drawing conclusions. Don't add messaging targeting this segment yet.

Deprioritize โ€” Data is Clear

7. Stop Spending Time on These Segments

Non-US Citizen: $0 from 23 bookings. Hard no.
Scale freelance goal: 5.3% close, $131/booking โ€” lowest ROI goal.
Unemployed/Between Roles: $19/booking. Intent + budget both missing.
Less than $50k income: $57/booking โ€” not commercial.

8. TRG Strategy Sessions Underperform

Strategy Session (standard) closes at 20.7% ($443/booking). TRG variant: 3.7% ($15/booking). If these are the same product with different traffic sources, the TRG source is generating very low-quality bookings. Investigate or cut.

Data Collection Fixes to Prioritize

9. Get Everyone to Answer the Readiness Question

Currently 54% response rate. Make it required or restructure the form flow. This is your highest-signal pre-call question.

10. You Need ~50 More Total Bookings

Overall close rate needs 216 bookings for ยฑ5% MoE. You're at 172. About 44 more bookings will make your overall numbers statistically solid. Segment-level reliability requires 30โ€“60 bookings per segment.
