The Marketer’s Dilemma

Potentially Burning Marketing Budget

“I spend on an acquisition channel, but it takes the length of the sales cycle to see if the channel is valuable enough to keep investing in.”

The Madkudu Way

Smart Insights, Less Waiting, Accurate Decisions

“Accurately assess the performance of acquisition channels quickly”

Why is this relevant?

Use your MadKudu Customer Fit score to assess the quality of leads per channel and adjust spend accordingly

Your Madkudu customer fit score is an indicator of your expected pipeline. Use it to determine the quality per channel and optimize your marketing spend per channel.

Generating high quality leads that aren’t converting?  Use this as an input to nurture your campaigns and walk those valuable leads further down the funnel.

Bet big on the channels that drive quality leads, stop wasting money on channels that don’t.

Assessing Response Quality By Channel

Discriminate between channels generating mostly low (Free Rates) vs mostly high (Whitepaper) quality leads.

Compare volumes and cost of acquisition to determine whether it makes sense to move your marketing budget from one channel to another. If the cost of acquisition for a quality lead from Free Rates happens to be 10X less that the cost of acquisition for Whitepaper - then it would make sense to generate those Free Rate quality leads, and nurture them.

Response Quality By Channel Over Time

As Marketers, we want to understand if the quality of leads per channel evolves over time.  In this example, we see that the volume of quality leads maintains, and even increases slightly.

Therefore we would expect to see performance increase marginally (increase of leads to closed won by this channel).  If we allocate additional budget spend to this channel, we would also want to see an increase in the lead to deal ratio. 

In this next example, we see that the volume of quality leads drastically decreases.

However, the revenue generated by the channel may still remain consistent, if the number of quality leads is maintained.  If we spend more on this channel, and there is no increase in quality leads which convert to deals, we will reduce the ROI for this channel, despite the revenue remaining the same.
