A B2B marketer notices that MQL-to-SQL conversion rate dropped from 32% to 18% over one quarter. Which analysis should be performed first?
Answer: Segment MQLs by source, persona, and campaign to isolate the drop's origin
Segmenting by source, persona, and campaign allows you to pinpoint where the degradation originated before making changes.
What does a 'velocity' metric measure in a B2B sales funnel?
Answer: The average time prospects take to move between pipeline stages
Velocity measures how quickly leads or deals progress through funnel stages, revealing bottlenecks that slow revenue generation.
In multi-touch attribution, the 'linear' model distributes credit by:
Answer: Splitting credit equally across all touchpoints in the buyer's journey
The linear model assigns equal credit to every recorded touchpoint, acknowledging that each interaction contributed equally.
A B2B company wants to measure 'pipeline coverage ratio.' Which formula is correct?
Answer: Total pipeline value ÷ revenue quota for the same period
Pipeline coverage ratio compares total pipeline value to revenue quota, indicating whether there is enough opportunity to meet targets.
Which metric best indicates the long-term value potential of a B2B account segment?
Answer: Customer lifetime value (CLV)
Customer lifetime value captures the total expected revenue from an account over the entire relationship, reflecting long-term segment worth.
What is 'data hygiene' in B2B marketing analytics, and why does it matter?
Answer: The ongoing process of cleaning, deduplicating, and standardizing CRM/MAP data to ensure accurate reporting
Data hygiene ensures records are accurate and consistent, which is foundational to reliable attribution, segmentation, and performance reporting.
When evaluating content performance in B2B, which combination of metrics best distinguishes high-quality engagement from shallow traffic?
Answer: Time on page, scroll depth, and downstream conversion to MQL
Time on page, scroll depth, and MQL conversion together indicate whether content educates and advances the buyer, not just attracts clicks.
