Why do most businesses completely bomb their revenue targets? It's not because they lack hustle or good products. Marcus Chen reveals the brutal math behind sales volume that most entrepreneurs never calculate - and it's costing them millions.

On Built Different, we break down exactly how many prospects you actually need to hit your revenue goals (spoiler: it's way more than you think). Marcus walks through the real numbers - why you need about 100 qualified prospects to generate $50K in revenue, how losing 15-25% of customers annually impacts your math, and why most entrepreneurs spend less than 2 hours daily on the one activity that actually grows their business. You'll discover why your sales rep can only handle 50-80 meaningful conversations per month, learn to calculate your true inflow requirements, and understand why your revenue bottleneck isn't what you think it is.
