Setting Lead Generation Targets
MEASURING MARKETING SUCCESS
1. Determine your revenue goals for the next fiscal year
• Review forecasts and revenue projections for the last year – how close where you to your
actual? How much would you like to grow in the coming year?
• Determine the sales and marketing budget required to achieve this goal
2. Calculate the number of customers required
• Determine your average deal size - how many opportunities do you need to win to hit your
sales goal based on the average deal size?
3. Understand your win/loss ratio
• Using past sales, find out how many leads you need to achieve the number of customers
required
• If you don’t have a win/loss ratio or can’t determine it, use an average win ratio (e.g. 1 in 5)
