Melissa Rosenthal's Brand Growth Dashboard

Go back

What does this brand growth dashboard include?

The following dashboard for Melissa Rosenthal, Co-Founder of Outlever, measures and reports on:

  • What marketing activities are contributing to pipeline and revenue growth?
  • Which channels are directly sourcing pipeline and revenue?
  • What does the prospect journey look like, and how is it changing over time?
  • What channels are positively impacting pipeline creation and revenue closure?
  • How are our dark social and brand awareness efforts influencing deals?
  • How is the revenue team performing overall, and what deals are in open pipeline?

What insights can I surface from this dashboard?

Marketing, sales, and operations leads can utilize this dashboard to track progress toward their quarterly and annual goals, streamline spend and efforts across channels, and clarify the impact of brand awareness and lift. You’ll be able to answer questions like:

  • What are the most and least successful campaigns each quarter, and what does that tell us?
  • How much are we spending on every channel, and what’s the ROI for each? Knowing this, where should we be investing and at what consistency to best attract our ICP and close deals?
  • How can we shorten the customer journey based on their first touchpoint?
  • Is brand awareness working, and if so, in what capacity?
  • Is search and direct traffic trending upwards, and what can we learn from it?
  • Who is responsible for generating the most pipeline and revenue each quarter, and why does it fluctuate?
  • What is the value of a customer who comes through certain channels, and how does that compare to their acquisition cost?
  • How do we stand with each prospect, and how likely are we to close a deal? How can that inform future dealmaking?

Melissa Rosenthal’s Brand Growth Dashboard breakdown

How exactly would Melissa Rosenthal and others use this dashboard to improve upon brand, sales, and marketing strategy QoQ? Let’s find out!

Campaign contributions to pipeline and revenue

Campaign success naturally fluctuates each quarter depending on where a team focuses their energies, their budget, and other factors such as market trends. 

Here, Melissa can view in a simple visual the largest contributors to pipeline and revenue over the course of the last couple of years and compare that to what she knows about her team’s priorities during those periods. A decrease in impact from say, a competitor takeout, might indicate that they’re better off pursuing another route — or, more likely, that that specific strategy in drawing customers away from the competition just isn’t working. Alternatively, consistency may be a signal to stay the course.

Campaign impact on pipeline and revenue

Sourced pipeline by channel

Spend for each touchpoint and the visitors, pipeline, and deals they draw in tells Melissa where she can cut costs or lower efforts without sacrificing performance or long-term success. A channel that takes a large chunk of budget to maintain — but attracts a significant percentage of ICP visitors compared to other channels — might still be worth the investment. On the other hand, she could also increase spend on a cheaper option that still drives notable prospects.

Channel source impact on qualified pipeline

Customer journey and funnel by channel

When you know where your ideal consumers tend to go, you can then plan out or rearrange your approach to keep them engaged. Melissa might also use this aspect of her dashboard to understand the effectiveness of certain funnels in driving conversations and closed-won revenue, and why someone might drop off at an early or later stage.

Lift by channel on pipeline and revenue

Lift data allows Melissa’s team to quantify the impact of potential customer interactions on demo requests and deals. Through this report, she can see how her company is tracking towards their goals across social media, search, podcasts, and other touchpoints.

Brand traffic trends

Search and direct traffic to your website can be a reliable and affordable way to boost brand awareness and land clients, which is why Melissa felt it was important to have a clear view of this information over time. If this is trending upwards, she can feel confident in their content and user experience. If she witnesses a dip, that’s her indication to shift focus and diagnose the problem before it gets worse and she loses a key touchpoint.

Visits to web that are from branded paid keywords or direct

Self-reported attribution by channel

In this part of the dashboard, Melissa can compare the success of word-of-mouth marketing against other means customers report brand awareness through, such as video or audio. Capturing those dark social interactions or understanding when someone first recognized your brand can be just as (or more!) impactful for determining what works as trackable data from other digital efforts.

Pipeline and revenue by source trends

As a co-founder, Melissa needs to have a pulse on her entire revenue team. These charts allow her to assess talent contributions to pipeline and sales every quarter, which then can inform where she needs to step in, hire, or pivot tactics.

Leads by source and account pipeline

Similarly, Melissa needs to be aware of what SQLs are currently in play, the value they offer, and how that measures against the cost of acquiring them in order to monitor her balance sheet. Additionally, with easy access to accounts coming down the pipeline, she can estimate growth for the year, and analyze data around deal size, length, and close probability to further tailor her approach by industry and company type.
