Informational Interview Pipeline Calculator

The Informational Interview Pipeline calculator works backward from your warm-lead goal to a concrete weekly outreach number. You set how many warm leads you want from the search, how many weeks you have, the typical conversion from a completed informational to a real lead, the response rate on your outreach, and the show-rate from scheduled to completed. The calculator returns the number of outreach messages and the number of conversations you need per week, plus the total volume across the whole search. Use it the day you decide informational interviews are part of your strategy. Without a weekly number, the work feels infinite and gets dropped first; with a number, it becomes a quota you either hit or visibly miss.
