Seeking Tech Recruitment Insights for My Growing Business
Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out for some support as I navigate the challenges of a new business that I’ve been running for about a year now.
As a solo founder until recently, I’ve found it challenging to keep up with market trends and industry changes. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share some average metrics regarding client acquisition. Specifically, I’m interested in key performance indicators (KPIs) that have worked for you.
For instance, I’m curious about things like:
- Sending out 250 emails each week
- Making 200 calls each week
- Securing 1 mass spec per week
If these efforts yield 2 new clients a month, that would be invaluable information to me as I refine my own targets.
Thanks in advance for your help! Your insights would mean a lot.

Hi there!
Congratulations on your new business! It’s great to see entrepreneurs like yourself seeking advice and data to optimize their processes. While specific metrics can vary widely depending on the sector and market conditions, I can offer some general guidelines and stats that might help you design your outreach strategy.
If you’re emailing 250 contacts a week, you might expect about 40-62 opens, 5-12 clicks, and potentially 1-3 new clients over time, depending on your follow-up strategy and the quality of your leads.
If you’re calling 200 contacts a week, you might connect with 16-30 people and have a chance to convert 1-2 into clients.
Posting frequency and engagement: Consistency is key here. If you’re doing one mass outreach post per week, focus on engagement rates to improve client acquisition over time.
Networking and Referrals:
Networking can yield higher conversion rates. A good practice is to ask existing clients for referrals, which can help you convert leads at a much higher rate (often above 30%).
Follow-Up:
Remember, these numbers can vary, so it’s important to track your performance and refine your approach as you gather more data. Setting specific, measurable goals based on your outreach methods can help you gain a clearer picture of what works best for your business.
Best of luck, and feel free to reach out if you have more questions!
