What to learn
A sponsor with 55%+ gross margin and a $1,000/month platform fee can reach self-funding when enrolled clients cover the $5,000/month marketing budget. At $1,000/month per enrollee — 5 enrolled clients generate $5,000/month in platform fees. If the sponsor's gross margin covers the marketing contribution, the program runs at zero net cost. Beyond that, each additional enrolled client generates margin-positive revenue while the marketing spend stays flat.
The ROI Follow-Up Tool models this month by month. A rep who can run the tool live in front of a sponsor — entering their actual numbers and showing when the program breaks even — closes more sponsors than a rep who talks about it abstractly.
Trainer Note
Have the rep run the ROI tool with a hypothetical sponsor: 65% gross margin, $1,000/month platform fee, 10 target CPs, 3 new CPs per month, 1 enrollee per CP per month, 12-month window. Walk through the output together. Ask: at what month does it break even? What happens if churn is 10% instead of 5%? The rep needs to be comfortable narrating the output live, not just filling in the form.
