Seeking Tech Recruitment Insights to Support a New Business
Hey everyone,
I’ve been running a new business for about a year now, and until recently, I’ve been managing everything on my own. It’s been challenging to keep up with industry trends and understand the current market.
I would really appreciate it if you could share some general statistics or KPIs regarding acquiring new clients. For example:
- Sending emails to 250 contacts per week
- Making 200 calls to potential clients each week
- Securing 1 mass spec per week
In this scenario, it could lead to acquiring 2 clients per month.
This is just one example and may not be accurate, but I’m eager to learn from your experiences and gather data to help me refine my own targets.
Thank you so much for your assistance!

Hey there!
Congratulations on your new business! It’s great to see you reaching out for support and insights from the community. While stats can vary based on industry and specific goals, I can certainly share some general benchmarks that might help you set your targets.
Typically, a response rate of 1-5% is common for cold emails. This means you might get 2-12 responses from your outreach, leading to potential conversations.
Cold Calling:
For cold calls, a common conversion rate is about 5-10%. If you’re calling 200 people a week, that could translate to 10-20 significant conversations, with a further goal of 1-3 conversions into clients, depending on your pitch and the fit.
Mass Spec (or other lead generation tactics):
If your strategy includes mass marketing or specs, having 1 high-quality spec per week could be a solid strategy. Depending on your follow-up and how compelling your offer is, this could lead to 2-4 clients monthly.
Networking and Referrals:
In total, if you combine these strategies effectively, you might aim for 2-4 clients per month as a reasonable goal to start with, adjusting your expectations as you gather more data on your conversion rates.
It’s all about finding what works best for you and iterating on your strategies. Good luck, and feel free to reach out if you need more specific advice!
Best,
