Sales Velocity: Which Marketing Channels Actually Close the Fastest?

Elena, a Marketing Optimizer, loves generating leads. But she knows that simply counting the number of form submissions isn't enough. If she evaluates her marketing channels solely on the volume of leads they generate, she's missing half the equation. The real metric is the time between the click and the close.

The Speed of Money

A lead from a Facebook ad campaign might cost ₹500, while a lead from an industry webinar costs ₹2,000. At first glance, Facebook is the better channel. But what if Elena discovers the Facebook lead takes 45 days to close, while the webinar lead closes in 12 days? Cash flow relies on velocity.
