4. SO, WHERE DO WE START?
If a company could reach 16% of it’s total following on a
social account with a single post/update. Assuming a 1%
click-through rate on the post and a 2% conversion rate
from visits to lead, the brand would need 1,250,000
followers to generate 250 leads.

That’s indeed academic! In reality, measuring social
media RoI is not that straightforward a deal.
