While more than 70% of businesses can demonstrate how marketing increases engagement and leads,<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/b2b-content-marketing-trends-2017\"> only 57% can demonstrate how it increases sales<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially problematic given the expectation of today\u2019s senior leaders.

Why? Because of an <a href=\"https:\/\/globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2017\/03\/14\/936344\/0\/en\/CMO-Council-Founder-Donovan-Neale-May-on-CMO-Job-Loss-Financial-Impact-Analytics-for-Marketing-and-Why-Proof-Is-So-Important.html\">inability to show business impact<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>The bottom line: marketing teams who struggle to show the impacts of their campaigns and initiatives on overall revenue are in a precarious position.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Closed-loop marketing offers a solution. <\/p>\n<p>With closed-loop marketing enabled by modern technology, marketing teams can attribute campaigns directly to sales. This closes the gap between marketing and sales team initiatives, allows for reporting sales figures instead of just leads generated, and enables campaign optimization by highlighting what\u2019s generating revenue and what\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>At Ruler Analytics, we use our own platform and several third-party integrations\u2014Pipedrive, ClearBit, Zapier, ChartMogul, and Stripe\u2014to engage in closed-loop marketing. This allows us to track leads across the customer lifecycle and identify the amount of revenue each marketing-acquired lead generates over time.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re struggling to show how marketing initiatives lead to increased revenue for your company, you can replicate our process to start delivering reports that highlight the value of marketing\u2014securing both your job and your department budget in the future.<\/p>\n<h1>What Is Closed-Loop Marketing?<\/h1>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The only way to guarantee a closed loop with accurate information is to let technology capture the information for you automatically.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Closed-loop marketing is the process of connecting sales conversions back to the marketing campaigns that generated the original leads. In doing so, the marketing team can determine which specific campaigns, channels, and keywords are the most\u2014and least\u2014effective in driving revenue.<\/p>\n<p>But since most businesses have separate marketing and sales teams, it can be difficult to pinpoint which marketing campaigns led to which leads, and which of those leads went on to make a purchase.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, this connection was often made by having sales reps ask customers where they learned about the company, or in the case of online conversions, including a \u201cHow did you hear about us\u201d question on forms:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full-column wp-image-9117\" src=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/howdidyouhear-720x507.png\" alt=\"How did you hear about us\" width=\"720\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/howdidyouhear-720x507.png 720w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/howdidyouhear-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/howdidyouhear.png 769w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/howdidyouhear-300x211@2x.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, both of these approaches are prone to human error.<\/p>\n<p>Sales representatives could forget to ask, or forget to feed the answer back to marketing teams. <\/p>\n<p>And while asking on a form guarantees an answer gets sent back to the marketing team, it doesn\u2019t guarantee that the answer is correct. Some customers may not remember how they learned of your company, or they may just make a random selection to expedite the process.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to guarantee a closed loop with accurate information is to let technology capture the information for you automatically. <\/p>\n<p>The exact source is captured and fed through a variety of systems, tracking leads from their initial engagement through the first\u2014and any subsequent\u2014sales, and providing detailed reports on campaign performance and revenue generation.<\/p>\n<h1>Our Closed-Loop Marketing System<\/h1>\n<p>By using Ruler Analytics and several third-party integrations, we\u2019re able to track and report on revenue driven by marketing campaigns across a variety of channels. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the process we follow.<\/p>\n<p>1. Leads submitted by either form or phone call are captured in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruleranalytics.com\/\"> Ruler Analytics<\/a>. Ruler Analytics captures each lead\u2019s contact information and their visitor-level marketing attribution data\u2014including the source campaign, channel, first click, last click, and\/or organic keyword used\u2014using UTM parameters and Gclid tags.<\/p>\n<p>2. The lead information is then sent from Zapier into<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pipedrive.com\/\"> Pipedrive CRM<\/a> for the sales team to process. Each deal has the marketing information passed along with it, combining sales and marketing systems, and creating better alignment amongst teams.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9118\" src=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-2-1024x471.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-2-1024x471.png 1024w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-2-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-2-720x331.png 720w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-2.png 1568w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-2-300x138@2x.png 600w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-2-720x331@2x.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3. Once the deal is in the CRM, we can significantly expand information about the lead using<a href=\"https:\/\/clearbit.com\/enrichment\"> ClearBit\u2019s Enrichment API<\/a>. ClearBit gives us detailed information about the company where the lead works, including sector, location, revenue, and employee count.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9119\" src=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-3-1024x569.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-3-1024x569.png 1024w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-3-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-3-720x400.png 720w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-3.png 1545w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-3-300x167@2x.png 600w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-3-720x400@2x.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>4. When a lead converts, a<a href=\"https:\/\/zapier.com\/\"> Zapier<\/a> integration sends the contact information\u2014including all of the initial marketing and company data\u2014to either a database or Google Sheet. This data syncs with<a href=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/\"> ChartMogul<\/a> periodically throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>5. In ChartMogul, we\u2019ve set up custom attributes to capture the marketing and enriched company data. This allows us to manipulate data to create custom reports with the platform\u2019s filters and data visualizations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9120\" src=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-4-1024x532.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-4-1024x532.png 1024w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-4-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-4-720x374.png 720w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-4.png 1566w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-4-300x156@2x.png 600w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-4-720x374@2x.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>6. ChartMogul also connects directly with our payment processor,<a href=\"https:\/\/stripe.com\/\"> Stripe<\/a>. Because of this, every month the revenue we are generating from each customer gets attributed back to all of the data we have, allowing us to track and report on any subsequent sales.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9121 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-5-791x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-5-791x1024.png 791w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-5-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-5-720x932.png 720w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-5.png 1236w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-5-232x300@2x.png 464w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>Note: We use the full process for enterprise customers only. For small and medium enterprises (SMEs), we use a self-serve model. Revenue data is still captured in the self-serve model, but SME leads do not go through the CRM system.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>While it takes time to set up and integrate each of these systems, the end result provides tremendous value and a variety of benefits.<\/p>\n<h2>The Benefits of Closed-Loop Reporting with ChartMogul<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;when we started making more use of Custom Attributes, it transformed from an operational tool to something that sits above our sales and marketing, impacting our business right up to the director level.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Once the data is in ChartMogul, we use a ton of saved filters to get insight into the performance of different aspects of the business.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, we\u2019ve been able to transform our marketing from a cost-centre to a revenue generating machine. <\/p>\n<h2>What does this mean?<\/h2>\n<p>With marketing attribution, most people report on the success of their marketing based on leads and conversions. This is good, but leads and conversions don\u2019t always prove that marketing campaigns are impacting the bottom line.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we\u2019re able to see exactly which campaigns, channels and keywords turn into revenue.<\/p>\n\n<p>By default, ChartMogul allows us to filter on the following customer values:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Country<\/li>\n<li>City<\/li>\n<li>Lead Creation Date<\/li>\n<li>Free Trial Date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using these values, we built a brilliant operational dashboard that sped up our reporting and gave us a lot more clout when meeting with our board and investors. When you\u2019re meeting with leaders, it\u2019s important to make sure you\u2019re speaking the language they want to hear.<\/p>\n<p>As impressive as your traffic or conversions might be (or even worse, social media metrics), people at that level only care about bottom-line growth.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no other platform available that has come close to ChartMogul in allowing us to achieve this. Out of the box, it\u2019s an amazing product. But when we started making more use of Custom Attributes, it transformed from an operational tool to something that sits above our sales and marketing, impacting our business right up to the director level.<\/p>\n<p>With Custom Attributes, we can extend the reporting to include the following values:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Business Sector<\/li>\n<li>Product\/Feature Used<\/li>\n<li>Marketing Source<\/li>\n<li>Marketing Campaign<\/li>\n<li>Marketing Keyword<\/li>\n<li>Salesperson<\/li>\n<li>Number of Employees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This has opened up a new world of opportunity for us, and has made ChartMogul one of the most used tools by our sales, marketing, and operations teams.<\/p>\n<p>Some examples of how we use it:<\/p>\n<h2><b>We measure the average lifetime value of our different sectors and business types<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In fact, this insight has been one of the biggest drivers of growth over the last few months. Using ChartMogul, we were able to identify that a niche of one of our major sectors had a ALTV of 1.4x over any other. <\/p>\n<p>The niche was also a good fit for our experience, so instead of focussing our sales and marketing teams on an entire market, we shifted our focus down to where we know people get a lot of value from us. As a result, our MRR has grown 2.5 times quicker in the last two months than the two previous to it. When you consider compounding, this is a huge result.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9124\" src=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-6-1024x597.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-6-1024x597.png 1024w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-6-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-6-720x420.png 720w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-6.png 1690w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-6-300x175@2x.png 600w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-6-720x420@2x.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the example above, you can see two sectors we\u2019re strong in (agencies &amp; legal), vs one we\u2019re traditionally not strong in (ecommerce).<\/p>\n<p>If in the future we decided that the ecommerce sector was going to become a target market for us, we could use this data to monitor trends and measure how successful our efforts had been. For now, it allows us to build more successful sales strategies because we have a quantified understanding of who the most valuable sectors are.<\/p>\n<h2><b>We can calculate which salespeople are bringing in the most lifetime revenue, and monitor to see if our sales incentives are impacting our numbers<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Our sales bonuses are calculated off of a percentage of the revenue our customers have generated each month. Monthly revenue data\u2014segmented by customer\u2014is provided by ChartMogul, making it easy for us to adjust the bonus with every expansion, contraction, addition, and churn.<\/p>\n<p>Our sales bonuses also vary from time to time in order to incentivise our reps to help us hit certain goals. For example: if we want to grow our users in a certain sector, we\u2019d increase sales incentives for that sector and monitor ChartMogul to see if this was reflected in the trend.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9126\" src=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-8-1024x537.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-8-1024x537.png 1024w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-8-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-8-720x378.png 720w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-8.png 1690w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-8-300x157@2x.png 600w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-8-720x378@2x.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In this graph we can see the total amount of monthly recurring revenue generated by two sales individuals over time.

Because we tag the locations of the businesses we work with in ChartMogul, we\u2019re able to segment our data and measure the impact that particular deal, and our marketing activity in that area, have impacted the business on the metrics that matter.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9127\" src=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-9-1024x504.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-9-1024x504.png 1024w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-9-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-9-720x354.png 720w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-9.png 1690w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-9-300x148@2x.png 600w, https:\/\/chartmogul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ruler-9-720x354@2x.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although we\u2019re still in the infancy of our penetration of the mainland EU market &#8211; it\u2019s clear to see that there\u2019s a growing number of customers. A positive start that we can continue to build on &#8211; a validation we wouldn\u2019t have achieved without geographically segmented customer and revenue figures.<\/p>\n<h2><b>We can measure the impact of our marketing based on all of ChartMogul\u2019s revenue metrics: MRR, CLTV, Average Sale Price, Churn Rate&#8230; everything!<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>This was huge for us. In our eyes, this is the natural evolution of marketing analytics. Pre-internet, marketers relied on estimated eyeball and readership figures. With the internet came impression and click tracking, then Google Analytics popularised the concept of conversions. <\/p>\n<p>At each stage we\u2019ve gotten closer and closer to real business impact, but with ChartMogul, we\u2019re there! We can now measure the exact impact our marketing has had on our bottom line.<\/p>\n<p>Because all of our marketing data is passed into ChartMogul, we can see so much more than just which campaigns bring us leads. Previously, we would\u2019ve judged our ROI based on the average lifetime value of our customers, but now we can see the exact amount of revenue that each campaign has brought us.<\/p>\n<h1>Using Closed-Loop Analytics to Prove Marketing ROI<\/h1>\n<p>In our modern, data-driven world, marketing teams can no longer rely on reporting traffic increases, leads generated, and increased engagement to prove their worth to organizations. Instead, they must show the specific ROI of their initiatives and campaigns to secure jobs and budgets for the future.<\/p>\n<p>With modern technology, you can track this information automatically, and produce detailed reports that highlight the value of marketing in a way that\u2019s impossible to question.<\/p>\n<p>But proving ROI is just one of the benefits of closed-loop marketing. It is also an extremely valuable approach for marketers in their daily jobs because it highlights what\u2019s working, what\u2019s not, what could be improved, and what\u2019s wasting your budget.<\/p>\n<p>Closed-loop marketing is a win-win-win approach. Marketers win because they can prove their value and uncover which efforts produce the best results. Sales reps win because they can earn commissions and bonuses across the entire customer lifecycle. And company leaders win because they can see the direct outcome of their investment in marketing.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Closed-loop Marketing bridges the gap between Sales and Marketing.
