By keeping your content and advertising efforts in only ONE language only, you are not reaching hundreds of millions of potential customers in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, and around the world.
Using a conservative estimate of 500 million, and assuming only 1% of them hear about you (5 mil.), and from that, 10% (500K) may have interest in you, and only 10% of them may actually inquire about you (50K), and only 10% of them actually like what you have to offer and call you or contact you, that is 5000 potential clients. From those, only 10% buy, which is 500 potential sales, plus all their friends and families who will have your product or service recommended to them.
