CLIENT COHORT BILLABLE-HOURS ENGINE
How Does Sales Funnel Optimization Service Generate Revenue in the Model?
The model acquires clients through marketing, retains service-tier cohorts, calculates active customers and billable hours, then applies hourly rates to determine revenue.
01
Acquire Clients
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
02
Allocate Cohorts
New customers are assigned to service tiers and retained for each tier lifetime.
03
Count Active Clients
Starting customers and every still-active cohort form the monthly active customer base.
04
Build Billable Hours
Active customers multiply by average monthly billable hours for their service tier.
05
Calculate Revenue
Billable hours multiply by hourly rates, with revenue summed across tiers and months.
How Do Revenue Inputs Drive the Sales Funnel Forecast?
The Revenue worksheet connects marketing acquisition, service-tier customer cohorts, client lifetimes, billable hours, and hourly rates to the sales funnel optimization revenue forecast.
REVENUE
The Revenue view shows acquisition inputs, customer cohorts, billable-hours assumptions, pricing, and customer development.

A Good Fit

CUSTOM STRUCTURE
Consider Custom Modeling
Your revenue depends on milestones, success fees, licensing, or other non-hourly logic.
Your retention structure requires contract-specific schedules beyond cohort lifetimes.
Your operations need specialized capacity or resource constraints tied directly to revenue.
Your reporting requires materially different schedules, calculations, or management outputs.
The template is a planning starting point, not a guarantee of performance.
