In 1898, E. St. Elmo Lewis developed a model

which mapped a theoretical customer journey from

the moment a brand or product attracted consumer

attention to the point of action or purchase.

keyword appears in

Adcopy “Title” and

also in the

description line 1

and/or 2.

* Example Data

If we see lead flow high, but very few deals close, this allows

Marketing & Sales to have a conversation around numbers

(rather than Sales just saying “leads are poor quality”).

Example Q’s: Do Sales Reps need more training?

Is Marketing producing too many leads? Do we have enough sales headcount?
