Role of the Contact
Contacts and Leads are members of campaigns
Allow you to relate opportunities to campaigns Associate pipeline and closed won $$$
Without Contact you lose mechanism for accurate ROI metrics
Role of the Contact – cont-
Contacts get associated with Opportunities via the CONTACT ROLES related list
Designation of PRIMARY contact is relevant to the PRIMARY CAMPAIGN SOURCE
Salesforce can be configured in several ways to ensure that a contact is attached to each opportunity
Lead Source v. Primary Campaign Source
Lead Source – The Campaign that FIRST brought the name into the database
Added to the records at the time of entry into the database either by marketing, the end user or by data integrations
Lead source on Opportunities should be discontinued when you adopt the use of Campaigns
Primary Campaign Source – The LAST Campaign before an Opportunity
Will be populated by salesforce.com. Should NOT be something chosen by an end user
Analytics

Clean data has to be a priority
How the data ends up in Salesforce is essential to its usefulness
33% of sales/marketing professionals expressed data accuracy as their biggest concern
58% of users rely on Sales team to keep CRM data current
No Duplicate Accounts and Contacts is essential Every product you use that integrates with
salesforce (marketing automation and DiscoverOrg) map using email addresses. EACH EMAIL ADDRESS CAN ONLY BE IN SF ONE TIME!

Why “Leads” Ruin Your Analytics
Leads “database” is a separate from the Accounts/Contacts database Sacrifice cohesive campaign analytics
Lack of context = lack of usefulness to sales
The Myth of “Conversion”
The core of most marketing metrics hinges on the grey “convert” button in Salesforce
Artificial significance in the business process and related analytics
Key Takeaway Points
Organize your Campaigns well Make sure a contact is attached to each
opportunity Clean, well organized data is essential Adopt a process of 100% Lead
conversion
