Demand Generation & Pipeline Creation
Marketing Dashboard
The marketing dashboard answers one question: is marketing generating enough high-quality pipeline to feed the revenue plan? It connects top-of-funnel activity to bottom-of-funnel outcomes.
Volume & Efficiency
How much demand is marketing generating, and at what cost?
- Cost Per Lead (CPL)Metric
Total marketing spend on a campaign or channel divided by the number of leads generated. A foundational efficiency metric for demand generation.
- Marketing ROIMetric
The return on investment from marketing spend, calculated as pipeline or revenue generated divided by total marketing cost. Marketing ROI connects spend to revenue outcomes and is the top-level metric marketing leaders use to justify budget, optimize channel mix, and demonstrate impact to the board.
- Conversion RateMetric
The percentage of records that advance from one stage to the next (e.g., MQL to SQL, SQL to opportunity, opportunity to closed-won).
Pipeline Contribution
How much of the sales pipeline originates from marketing efforts?
- AttributionConcept
The methodology for assigning credit to marketing and sales touchpoints that influenced a deal. Models include first-touch, last-touch, linear, and W-shaped.
- Lead ScoringFramework
A methodology for ranking prospects against a scale representing perceived value. Combines demographic fit (firmographic) and behavioral signals (engagement).
Content & Engagement
Are marketing programs reaching and engaging the right accounts?
- Buyer IntentConcept
Behavioral signals that indicate a prospect is actively researching or evaluating solutions. Sources include content consumption patterns, review site visits, competitor comparisons, and search activity.
- Account-Based Everything (ABX)Concept
An evolution of ABM that extends account-based thinking beyond marketing into sales, CS, and product. All revenue functions coordinate around a shared set of target accounts.
- Dark FunnelConcept
The invisible portion of the buyer journey that occurs outside trackable channels -- podcasts, Slack communities, word-of-mouth, private social. Revenue teams can't attribute it, but it drives pipeline.
