Lead-to-booking1.2%
Target 1.4%. Site-visit-to-booking averages about 3.5% and tops 7.5%; structured funnels and pre-sales lift conversion 30 to 50%. Premium leads cost ₹1,500 to 3,000 each, so every point of conversion is large money. Sources: LeadSquared, Tatva 2025. Confidence: High.

Cancellation rate18%
Target 13%. A material share of bookings cancel before registration, to loan rejections, project-delay anxiety and remorse. The exact rate is developer-specific, so use the developer's own number. Reducing it is the highest-leverage and most overlooked leak. Confidence: Med-Low.

× realization 0.8₹3.46 Cr / yr
All-in cost to sell6.5%
Target 5.5%. All-in cost to sell runs 5 to 8% of sales value: channel-partner brokerage 1 to 3%, marketing 1 to 2%, plus pre-sales and DSA. Activating productive channels, cutting lead waste and growing direct channels recovers points straight to margin. Sources: PlotSquad, Pitch 2025. Confidence: Med. This is a cost saving, not new revenue.
LEAK 4
Referral & repeatRevenue · advocacy and investor repeat

× contribution/unit ₹50,00,000

Referral + repeat share8%
Target 14%. Post-possession advocacy, investor repeat and NRI referrals are under-worked by most developers; a structured program lifts the referral and repeat share of bookings. Confidence: Med.
How these numbers are calculated:
- Conversion, cancellations and referral recover or protect bookings, valued at contribution margin per unit, not the full ticket price.
- Channel and marketing cost is a margin saving on sales value, not new revenue. It is labelled as a cost saving, the other three as revenue.
- Contribution per unit is average unit price × contribution margin. The four leaks do not count the same booking twice.
Directional estimate based on the inputs entered, not a guarantee. Cancellation rate and channel mix vary widely and must come from the developer's own data. Benchmarks are India developer ranges, current Jun 2026.
