In this segment of the YouTube video, Eric Deeran walks through a straightforward financial calculation to estimate the advertising budget required to generate 500 booked calls. Assuming a current cost per call of $200, he multiplies $200 by 500 to arrive at a total ad spend of $100,000. He then breaks this figure down over a 30‑day period, concluding that a daily ad spend of roughly $3,033 is needed. To meet the 500‑call target within the month, he calculates that about 16.6 calls must be booked each day. The excerpt serves as a practical illustration of budgeting and pacing for lead‑generation campaigns.

And then what am I going to have to spend on ads to get 500 calls? Well, let's say my cost per call right now is $200. Cost per call. Well, if I do 200 times 500, well, it's going to cost me probably $100,000 to do that. So, how much am I spending right now on ads? How much— when I look at $100,000 divided by 30 days, that means I have to spend $3,033 a day on ads and I need to book— let's do 500 divided by 30 days. We need to book 16.6 calls per day.
