Buyer's Guide to B2B Marketing Attribution

Marketers have always needed to measure the impact of their work. The obvious reason is to justify their budgets to skeptical CEOs and CFOs who question the return on marketing investments. But measurement also helps marketers do their jobs better. Knowing which programs are doing well tells marketers where they should spend more money; knowing which are doing poorly shows where budgets should be cut or changes put in place. Looking beyond financial measures, understanding the impact of marketing programs on velocity (how quickly leads become customers) and conversion rates (how many leads move from one buying stage to the next) gives important insights and helps to forecast future results.
