Metrics Review

Achieve Better Results and Prove the Value of Marketing

Too many companies lack insight into the true value and impact of their marketing investments. This can be due to a variety of factors, but leads to problems such as uninformed decision-making, wasted time and money, and the loss of credibility for the marketing team.

By establishing the systems and processes that allow you to measure the effectiveness and ROI of your marketing efforts, you become empowered to:

Make better, more informed decisions about where/how to spend your budget and allocate your resources

  • Make tactical improvements in your marketing efforts

  • Set and measure performance against marketing targets

  • Clearly communicate the bottom-line value driven by your marketing efforts

  • Build a better, more credible business case for your budget and resource requests

Ultimately, your marketing team will be able to drive better results that translate to more revenue.

Primary Areas of Measurement:

  • Effectiveness – Provides an understanding of the actual effectiveness of your general marketing tactics, specific campaigns, and overall programs

  • Lead Quality – Tracks the quality of marketing leads delivered to Sales based on conversion and disqualification rates

  • Efficiency – Provides insight into how efficiently your marketing efforts product the desired results, using such metrics as cost-per-lead, spend vs. pipeline value created, etc.

  • Lead Origin Attribution – Compares lead generation across all potential sources of leads (i.e., Marketing, Sales, partners, Customer Success, etc.)

  • Bottom Line Impact – Demonstrates the ultimate value of your marketing programs based on their success at driving increased pipeline value, closed/won deals, and total revenue
