4) ROI Calculator + Video Proof → Self-Justifying Funnel

Make “why now” quantifiable - and watch approvals accelerate.

Updated over a month ago

Pair a quick model with crisp video proof to arm champions - so finance sees the numbers and leaders feel the credibility.

Who it’s for

  • Product Marketing & Demand Gen packaging pricing/ROI

  • Enterprise AEs & Sales Engineers selling to finance/procurement

  • RevOps building approval-ready assets

Why it matters

Finance buy-in comes from numbers + credibility. A lightweight calculator shows payback and upside; short proof clips show real outcomes - together they compress approvals and reduce discount pressure.

How it works (TOF → MOF → BOF)

TOF (Signal the outcome):

Publish 20–45s clips like “Typical ROI in 90 days” with one on-screen stat and a single sentence on how it’s achieved. Post across LinkedIn/X/Shorts and route every clip to the ROI page on your site (not YouTube).

MOF (On-site “ROI” page):

A Replay page that includes:

  • Calculator: simple inputs (team size, volume, rates) → outputs (payback, annual ROI, savings)

  • Chapters: Inputs → Assumptions → Proof (customer results by industry/size)

  • Transcript + searchable timeline for quick scanning

  • Artifacts: downloadable finance pack (PDF with the model, assumptions, and sources), pricing guide, benchmark notes

BOF (Approval-ready actions):

Primary CTAs: “Get a tailored quote” · “Send finance pack.”
Secondary: “Book a 15-min approval run-through” · “See it on your data.”


KPIs: Calculator completions · Quotes requested · Finance-pack sends · Discount rate (↓) · Time-to-approval

Automation: Calculator used → email PDF result with assumptions + clear CTA; finance-domain view of Assumptions/Proof → AE alert with chapter context; repeat views from same account → open approval task and suggest outreach template.

Make “why now” quantifiable - and watch approvals accelerate.
