Turnover and disengagement might feel like HR problems, but they come with a real financial cost. But most leaders don’t know how much these problems are really costing them.
That’s why C.A. Short Company does something different. Instead of opening with product features or vague promises, they guide buyers into the middle of the funnel with two interactive self-diagnostic tools: the Turnover Calculator and the Disengagement Calculator. These tools don’t just inform, they activate.
At the bottom of the homepage, visitors are invited to plug in three simple data points: number of employees, average salary, and either turnover or disengagement rate. With just a few clicks, they get a clear dollar amount representing what these issues are costing them annually.
The Turnover Calculator shows how attrition quietly eats into operating margins. The Disengagement Calculator does the same for lost productivity, turning something as intangible as low morale into a measurable financial drag.
By framing these two common problems in real financial terms, C.A. Short elevates the urgency of action. And that’s the core of smart MOFU content: it makes the business case before the pitch even begins.
When Middle-of-Funnel is Done Right
Most buyers in the middle of the funnel aren’t ready to talk to sales, but they are looking to validate a problem, size its impact, and see if it’s worth solving now.
That’s exactly what these calculators are designed to do. They:
- Use the visitor’s own data to reveal a hidden cost
- Offer industry benchmarks as reference points (e.g., U.S. average turnover rate of 47%, default disengagement rate of 13%)
- Deliver instant, visual outputs that feel consultative, not salesy
By enabling this kind of self-solutioning, C.A. Short gives decision-makers something they can take to their CFO, CHRO, or VP of Ops to start a budget conversation. That’s high-value, high-trust content, and it moves the buyer forward.
These calculators reflect a larger trend in B2B: buyers want tools, not talk. They want to interact with the problem, not be told they have one. C.A. Short understands that, and meets the buyer where they are, in the research and validation phase.
Instead of starting with product overviews, they start with a financial reality check. Instead of hoping for urgency, they help create it.
