What stops good reporting?
• Garbage IN= Garbage OUT – Enter all the data, clean up, normalize
• Not sure what reports are available in Marketo– Get training, Product Docs, Community or use consulting services
• Not enough time to build the reports– Dedicate time and set the correct expectations with all stakeholders
• No processes in place to track the correct data– Train everyone in the team to follow the process and understand
where to get the data from
• Not sure what is the best way to track costs– Pick your attribution model and stick with it!!! Consistency is crucial!
• Lack of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) – Decide what is important for you and how often you will monitor

First Touch vs. Multi Touch
First Touch Attribution
• Acquisition determines marketing influence. Program success is not necessary
• Only one program can get credit for acquiring the lead
• Acquisition must happen before opportunity created to get pipeline credit
• Acquisition must happen before opportunity closes to get revenue credit
Multi-Touch Attribution
• Program Success determines marketing influence
• Multiple Programs can get credit for a single opportunity
• Success must happen before opportunity created to get pipeline credit
• Success must happen before opportunity closes to get revenue credit
