Networking event ROI tracker that shows you which mixers actually make you money

Small business owners spend thousands on conferences, meetups, and networking events but have no way to measure which ones generate actual revenue. NetworkROI connects your CRM with event attendance data to reveal exactly which networking investments pay off. Simply connect Salesforce or HubSpot, tag contacts by event source, and watch as automated dashboards show you which conferences led to deals versus which ones wasted your budget. The system tracks: • Revenue generated per event • Cost per lead by networking source • Follow-up conversion rates • Time-to-close from initial meeting • Highest-value relationship sources You charge $79-$199/month per user, targeting the 2M+ small businesses already using CRMs but making networking decisions based on gut feeling. The initial hook is event ROI tracking, but you expand into full relationship intelligence - showing which connections drive referrals, which industries convert best, and which follow-up strategies get results. Growth comes through CRM integration marketplaces, partnerships with event platforms, and business owner communities where "is this conference worth it?" is a constant question. Start with a Zapier-style connector between major CRMs and platforms like Eventbrite or Meetup, then add manual tagging, revenue attribution, and clean reporting dashboards. Build with 10 business owners who attend 5+ events annually, and within 18 months, become the essential tool for relationship-driven revenue measurement.
