Market and data terminology.

  • Every page
Numbers worth diallingThe records left after the unqualified prospects and those with no direct line or a wrong number are removed. Of these, about 19% pick up in the UK and about 8% in the USA. We absorb the other 81 in every 100.
Pickup propensityThe likelihood a prospect picks up, scored by the Sentrama Engine before a call so only the most likely are dialled.
Direct mobile or cell phone numberThe only number we dial. No switchboards. About 70% of qualified prospects have one in the UK, about 40% in the USA.
TAMTotal addressable market. Only a small share of any TAM will ever pick up, so a small TAM runs dry fast.
The pitchWhat our SDR says to the person from your ICP once they pick up. Your pitch decides what a lead becomes next.
DispositionThe outcome recorded on every lead in your CRM, with the recording, the transcript and any follow-up date the prospect gave.

Commercial terminology.

TermDefinitionWhere it is used
Fixed price per leadA price per lead agreed before you commit, held for the committed volume and term.
Contracted volumeThe monthly lead number you set before we start, from 50 to 200. The only thing you are ever billed for. A shortfall is credited forward.

Cost per opportunitySpend divided by opportunities. For example, at 150 leads a month, around £100 on the 45 per 100 average.
