The ROI Calculation
Scenario: Real Estate Agency
- Leads per month: 500
- Current email response rate: 5%
- Current booking rate from responses: 10%
- Deal value: $5,000
Current Results:
- 500 × 5% = 25 responses
- 25 × 10% = 2.5 bookings/month
- 2.5 × $5,000 = $12,500/month
With iMessage (5-10% response, 15% booking):
- 500 × 8% = 40 responses
- 40 × 15% = 6 bookings/month
- 6 × $5,000 = $30,000/month
Additional Revenue: $17,500/month Investment: $119-239/month ROI: 7,300-14,700%
Scenario: SaaS Company
- Demo requests per month: 100
- Current email response rate: 8%
- Current booking rate: 15%
- ACV: $2,000
Current Results:
- 100 × 8% = 8 responses
- 8 × 15% = 1.2 bookings/month
- 1.2 × $2,000 = $2,400/month
With iMessage (10% response, 20% booking):
- 100 × 10% = 10 responses
- 10 × 20% = 2 bookings/month
- 2 × $2,000 = $4,000/month
Additional Revenue: $1,600/month Investment: $47-119/month ROI: 1,345-3,404%
Payback Period by Scenario
| Business Type | Monthly Investment | Additional Revenue | Payback Period |

| E-commerce (1,000 leads) | $239 | $4,000 | 2.2 days |
