Sales
Are leads actually becoming customers?
The final door. When leads don't close, the fix usually isn't more leads.
The fifth door is where marketing hands off to the business. If inquiries aren't becoming booked jobs, pouring more budget into the top of the funnel manufactures the same disappointment faster. We look at what happens after the lead arrives, response speed, the estimate, the follow-up, because in this industry, the ads aren't always the problem.
Marketing doesn't stop when the lead form gets filled out. We're just as invested in what happens after that click, because that's where revenue is made.
