How to Build a Revenue Attribution Model That Connects Marketing to Closed Deals
Marketing influences revenue but proving it requires a proper attribution model. Here's how to build one that connects touch to cash.
Revenue attribution connects marketing touches (ad clicks, content downloads, webinar attendance, email clicks) to closed revenue. Without it, marketing is a cost center. With it, marketing is an investment with measurable returns.
The model requires three data sources: marketing touchpoint data (from analytics and marketing automation), deal data (from CRM), and the connection between them (contact-to-deal associations). The challenge is building the connection layer and choosing the attribution model.

This is the report that gets marketing a bigger budget.
