Bridging Marketing and Finance with Clear Metrics

The Monthly Cohort Insight is engineered to foster stronger collaboration between Marketing and Finance teams. By providing a clear and actionable view of marketing’s impact on financial outcomes, this feature enables Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) and financial leaders to align on goals, budgeting decisions, and performance reporting. This alignment isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential for demonstrating ROI and driving long-term business growth.

Key Features of the Monthly Cohort Insight

• Lead Progression Tracking: Track how monthly leads evolve through various stages, such as MQLs, booked meetings, and closed deals. This feature helps users measure the efficacy of their demand-generation activities in real-time.
• Time-Based Views: The cohort data can be segmented by fiscal year, half-year, quarter, month, or even week, allowing you to view performance trends across different periods.
• Financial Metrics Integration: The insight calculates essential financial KPIs like CAC, CAC Payback, Lead-to-Customer Ratios, and Return on Spend, which are critical for evaluating marketing efficiency and impact.

A Closer Look at Key Financial Metrics

• Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): Calculate your spending on acquiring new customers by dividing monthly sales and marketing spending by closed deals.
  Example: If you spent $500,000 in February and closed two deals, your CAC would be $250,000.
• CAC Payback: This metric tells you how long it takes to recover the cost of acquiring a customer based on sales revenue and gross margins.
  Example: If you spent $250,000 and generated $100,000 in revenue at an 80% gross margin, your CAC payback period would be 3.125 months.
• Return on Spend (ROS): Easily calculate your marketing ROI by comparing sales to marketing spend, showcasing how much revenue is generated for every dollar spent.
  Example: Spending $250,000 and earning $300,000 results in a 20% ROI, meaning you earn $1.20 for every $1 spent.
• Lead-to-Win Ratio: This metric highlights the percentage of leads that convert into closed deals, giving you a clear view of how effective your lead generation efforts are in winning customers.
