Network Size ROI Calculator

The Network Size ROI Calculator puts a dollar figure on the professional network you already have. You enter your total connection count, the share you can credibly reach out to, the conversion rate from a real outreach to a job lead, the conversion rate from lead to offer, and the salary you are targeting. The calculator returns the expected number of leads, the expected number of offers, and the dollar value of those offers. Use it before a search to decide where to spend the first two weeks: cold applications versus reactivating the network. The point is not the precise number, it is the order of magnitude. A 1,500-person network with realistic conversion rates is worth several hundred thousand dollars in offer probability that gets ignored when you only apply through job boards.
