CRM cost vs the old way.

The old way is a spreadsheet, a notes app and follow-ups when you remember. Put a CRM's price next to the commission you might lose to slow follow-up, using your own numbers.

Default: Follow Up Boss Grow, $58 billed annually, from its pricing page (October 24, 2026). Use 9 for Close Solo, 0 for HubSpot free tools.

How the math works

  1. CRM cost per year = price x users x 12.
  2. Slow leads per year = leads x 12 x slow share.
  3. Commission tied to slow leads = slow leads x close rate x commission.
  4. Commission a CRM might help save = that number x the share you enter.
  5. Break-even = CRM cost per year / your commission. That is how many extra deals a year the CRM must help with to pay for itself.

Only the default CRM price comes from a public source. Every other default is our own example, not industry data. This is arithmetic on your inputs, not a prediction. Compare prices in the pricing table.
