Connect marketing leads to revenue

Connecting marketing leads to revenue requires consistent records across acquisition, sales and customer systems. Perfect attribution is rarely available.

Establish identifiers and ownership

Decide how an enquiry, contact and opportunity relate to one another. Record the source information the business can legitimately retain. Keep a clear source of truth for customer and revenue status.

Map the lifecycle

Define qualification, opportunity creation, won business and adjustments such as refunds. Check how repeat customers and multiple enquiries are handled. A simple agreed model is more useful than a complex report built on inconsistent stages.

Report confidence and gaps

Explain unmatched records, offline sources and missing consent-dependent data. Compare channels using consistent assumptions. Treat attribution as evidence for decisions rather than proof that one touchpoint alone caused a purchase.

Put the guidance to work

Capture your starting point, assign an owner to the next action, and decide what evidence will confirm that it worked.
