REVOPS TRAINING

Marketing Influenced Pipeline

Pipeline where marketing touched the account at some point, without necessarily having originated it.

The most inflatable metric in B2B

With a broad enough definition of a touch, marketing influences nearly everything — an email opened, a page visited, a webinar attended by anyone at the account. The number rises with instrumentation rather than with contribution.

Define the touch or do not report it

State what counts as influence and over what window. Undefined, the metric measures how much tracking you have installed.
