But between click-through rates, opens, web visits, and a whole mysterious black box of offline stuff, it’s still a struggle for all of us to communicate the value and impact of marketing programs on pipeline and revenue. But using tactical micro-metrics like CPC, CTR, CPL, and on-page optimizations is like looking at a Seurat up close.
