Why doesn't he just do:

  (Desired Daily Volume / 54.54)

Or even easier to remember:

  (Desired Daily Volume / 55)

Probably the same reason we write things like

SECONDS_IN_DAY = 60 * 60 * 24

The individual components have some meaning that loses clarity when we just write the result of the calculation

I do that because I can't remember that there are 86400 seconds in day so work it out from first principles each time.

I also sing the alphabet song (in my head) when I want to know which is the 19th letter of the alphabet.

Alright, then. Let's assume that 1.1 is a safety factor. From whence 60?

3 sales representatives, each sending 20 cold emails per day. Yeah, it should be 3 * 20.

So if he adds more salesmen, he needs less domains? ))
