All incoming sales calls and every lot up should be ad-sourced
and lead sourced—no exceptions. Determining the source of every
lead allows you to generate a report that will show you whether
your dollars are being spent effectively. Without this reporting,
you may wind up wasting thousands of dollars a month.
You can then dig deeper by asking customers which station they
saw your ad on. You can even break down your television
advertising by station on your ROI reporting to uncover which
stations generate the most traffic and profit. Even if you have
toll-free numbers dedicated to tracking and identifying specific
campaigns, process and skill are key to conversion. A simple
validation of their timing or choice can go a long way in
lowering defenses. The lower one’s defenses are, the more they

share. Knowledge is power and quality information is paramount to
accurate ROI reporting.
Similarly, most Web pages offer reporting that you can use to
break down how different sections of your Web site, like “chat
now” widgets, spokesmodels (are they annoying or helpful?) or
lead points on different pages, are performing. If you’re paying
for an add-on to your Web site and accurately sourcing leads back
to it, you can easily figure your ROI on that spend. I suggest
not depending solely on analytics. They can be misleading and
don’t share why someone left or spent little time on your Web
site. Talk with your customers. They can tell you a lot more than
your software. Don’t get me wrong, we need measurements from
multiple angles, but the personal touch of human interaction
(along with diligent follow up, of course) is what will develop
repeat and referral business.
Any time you can equate production with different ad and lead
sources, you have more of an ability to forecast, and by
concentrating more of your spends on sources that produce well,
your sales should increase.
