What is CRM attribution?

A CRM platform, which allows brands to track the information and data associated with different customers and contacts, can help companies organize and analyze the data points that lead to a prospect converting to a customer. Those who use the Hubspot CRM are interested in carefully monitoring their leads and customers so that they can provide better marketing and service for them.

As companies improve their understanding of how customers behave and what they want to see during their path to purchase, the easier it is to provide the content and experiences that will attract more leads and revenue. It also makes it easier to provide excellent service to existing customers. This is where including a company’s CRM data in marketing attribution data and reporting becomes vital to understanding how marketing efforts drive revenue.

Understanding CRM attribution adds a rich level of data that enhances marketing and sales efforts. To effectively use these benefits, organizations should familiarize themselves with the different types of attribution so they can ensure that they are looking at the data in the way that tells a story they can act on.

Attribution as a whole requires collecting data points on the touchpoints a customer has with a company before performing a specific conversion event, such as converting into a customer. Historically, this has been a much harder task for B2B companies. In more recent years, with more purchases being made online, B2C companies have had the easier task of tracking a consumer from first touch all the way through to purchase.

However, it is a bit more complicated for B2B companies. Oftentimes a lead will come in, get handed to sales, multiple meetings, handful of calls, and then end up closed won or closed lost in the CRM But that doesn’t tell the whole story - the original marketing channel source is often lost or diminished, especially in companies with long sales cycles. B2B companies need the ability to track a deal all the way through the sales funnel - at the contact, lead, and company level.

As the lead moves further through the sales funnel, tracking the touchpoints that influence those who convert into customers then finishes the sequence by providing a complete look at the sales funnel.

What are the benefits of different types of Hubspot attribution?

DemandJump’s Hubspot attribution solution allows customers to bring together attribution models across all levels of their sales funnels.

Brands can also look at the lead or contact level, but it is often more insightful for budget forecasting purposes to look at it at the account level. Within each stage of these attribution views, there are different models to track the touchpoints and behavior of customers.

• First touch attribution looks at the touchpoint that first brought customers to the brand, giving the the credit for the eventual conversion to that first touchpoint, but discounts the importance of the touchpoints that keep the lead engaged.
• Last touch attribution models look at the last touchpoint that engaged a customer before they converted in a meaningful way, but discounts the earlier touchpoints that sparked their interest.
• Finally, various multi-touch attribution models try to understand how the different touchpoints work together to provide more meaningful credit to the touchpoints throughout the steps that led to the conversion.
