Recommendations
- Assumptions look balanced. Save this scenario, then create a conservative variant (lower reply and close rates) to understand your downside before sending.

Save this scenario
Save it to your workspace to compare against other campaigns.
Forecasts are estimates based on user-provided assumptions. Results are not guaranteed. This tool does not send DMs. Follow platform rules, avoid spam, personalize your outreach, and respect opt-outs.
Most cold DM campaigns fail on math, not effort
Outreach teams usually guess their message volume and reply rates. A campaign that looks great at “5% reply rate” quietly collapses once you stack conversion rates: only a share of replies are positive, only a share of those book a call, and only a share of calls close.
By the bottom of the funnel, 1,000 DMs can mean one client — or none. If you don't understand volume, reply, booking, close, cost, and profit before sending, you find out after you've spent the time and budget.
Forecasting first turns bad assumptions into cheap lessons instead of expensive campaigns.
One tool for the whole planning loop
Calculate a forecast, save it as a scenario, compare it against alternatives, benchmark your assumptions, export a report, and improve the weakest stage — all in one place. See the full step-by-step workflow, or read the planning blog for practical breakdowns. When you're ready to build forecasting into your own product, the same engine is available over the API.
