ROI example using a pest control vanity number 855-DEAD-BUG (nationwide license) at $99 monthly pre-discount.   Current sales assumption places a value of each pest control sale at $100 and you receive 100 calls per month and you normally convert 20% of all your calls.  Future sales assumption places an increase of 30% more calls with a custom Word Dial Vanity Number at $99 per month.   ROI would be 30 more calls or $600 additional sales per month (65% ROI). 

ROI example using a good call to action vanity number 800-CALL-JAMES by an attorney at $199 monthly, two area codes pre-discount. Current sales assumption places a value of each new attorney case at $2,500 and you receive 100 calls per month and you normally convert 5% of all your calls.  Future sales assumption places an increase of 30% more calls with a custom Word Dial Vanity Number at $199 per month.   ROI would be 30 more calls or $3,750 additional sales per month (80% ROI).  What if our number only increased calls by 15%?   You would still have $1,875 additional sales per month (56.5% ROI).
