πŸ”½ Marketing Funnel Visualization (QTD)

β„Ή Directional view: This funnel reflects contacts who have passed through each stage in sequence. Counts are directional β€” a contact is only included at a given stage if they progressed to it from the prior stage within the quarter.

⚠ Critical Bottleneck: SAL β†’ SQL conversion is 9.3% vs. 15% benchmark β€” only 163 SQLs from 1,744 SALs. Upper funnel is healthy; the conversion leak at SALβ†’SQL remains the primary pipeline creation constraint.

⚠ Discovery β†’ Qual/Demo drop: Only 11 of 42 Discovery deals (26.19%) advance. This is the largest deal-stage drop-off and warrants immediate attention on qualification criteria and BDR handoff quality.

⚑ Priority Actions

Action 1 β€” SAL β†’ SQL Conversion (3.03% vs. 15% benchmark)
Immediately audit the 628 QTD SALs that did not convert to SQL β€” identify whether the failure is in BDR follow-up speed, ICP mismatch, or lack of a defined SQL acceptance SLA between marketing and sales, and implement a 48-hour SQL review SLA with daily tracking this week.
Action 2 β€” Pipeline Pace Emergency (need $1.7M/week; creating $795K)
Launch a 3-week outbound sprint targeting known ICP accounts to close the $4.7M pace gap β€” pull the top 50 accounts by ACV potential from the CRM, assign one BDR per 10 accounts, and run a daily pipeline creation standup for the remainder of Q.
Action 3 β€” Demo Submissions Declining (-37.5% WoW, -68% from peak)
Reactivate demand gen programs immediately β€” demo submissions have dropped from 62 (peak) to 20 this week, which will suppress MQLs and SALs in 2–3 weeks; prioritize re-engagement of high-intent organic/direct traffic and re-run top-performing content before end of March.

⚠ Data Quality Notes

🚩 SAL Goal Misconfiguration or Data Lag
The SAL Goal gauge shows 1,744 actual vs. 1,744 goal (100% complete), but the Marketing Funnel Report shows only 628 SALs. These are almost certainly filtered differently β€” the goal gauge appears to use a different date range or lifecycle stage definition than the funnel report. Confirm which figure reflects true Q-to-date SALs created within the current quarter filter.
🚩 Funnel Conversion Rate Discrepancy
MRL→MQL conversion (52.48%) and MQL→SAL conversion (72.35%) are significantly higher than figures referenced in the data dictionary (26.97% and 49.57% respectively). The discrepancy likely reflects different date ranges or scope — the dashboard funnel may be scoped more narrowly than the data dictionary definitions. Validate filter alignment before presenting to leadership.
🚩 Weekly Pace Denominator
The pace section shows "9 of 11 weeks elapsed" β€” Q1 runs 13 weeks (1/26–4/27). This appears to reflect 11 reporting weeks rather than total calendar weeks. Confirm the denominator used in pace calculations is consistent with the stated quarter length to avoid understating urgency.
