For $200,000 GCI agent, budget $10,000.  Budget about $20 per Client/SOI per year. For 500 people, budget $10,000.  Budget of $20 is based on mailings $12, call $8.  Market share goal is to have 80% market share of Client/SOI database. This is probably 90% of A, 70% of B, and 50% of C people.  About 50% of Marketing business is repeat or first-time business from SOI.  About 50% of Marketing business is referrals from Client/SOI.  Referrals usually come from only 10% of the database. These are the people rated A.  Budget about $50 extra for the A people. So, with 500 people and 50 A people, budget extra $2,500 for A people. This may include lunches/coffee, gifts, parties.  Overall budget for 200 people is $6,000 with goal of 20 deals at 200k would be $4m sales and $100,000 GCI so marketing cost would be 6% or $6,000.
