What new accounts are worth to CMC in trailers and sales
CMC can ship ~40 trailers a week and averages ~15–25. Business buyers barely search for what CMC sells (~1,300 searches a month), so the plan reaches retailers, hotels and colleges by name. This models what a year of new accounts is worth in trailers and sales. Every count and price is a placeholder until CMC's own numbers replace it.
Ranking top 3 for every B2B mattress search would be worth only ~$307/mo in clicks.

Buying every B2B mattress search in Google: ~$2,048/mo. Ranking top 3 for all of them: ~192 visits, ~$307/mo in clicks — so the budget goes to reaching buyers by name.
What waiting costs
CMC has room for 20 more trailers a week before it reaches ~40, or 1,040 a year. At the plan's mix of buyers a trailer averages $20,385 in sales, so that empty room is worth about $21.2M a year (~$408K a week). Each month without new accounts defers about $150,625 of sales. Colleges put next summer's mattresses out to bid from February to May.
