How to attribute marketing revenue to deals

Attributing marketing revenue to deals is complicated unless you’re using the right tools. Here are the steps for creating attribution models and analysing reports in Zoho:

Set up attribution models in Zoho by clicking through Setup - Automation - Attribution. Choose one of the 6 attribution model shapes to focus on. Customise your selection to specify the importance and processes surrounding each stage.
Analyse your marketing attribution reports. Once your attribution model(s) are set, the Campaigns record page will outline the figures within your report. The ‘Contributing Deals’ box defines how many deals led to a specified amount of revenue from your campaign. You can view Attribution reports via clicking ‘Marketing Attribution’ in the Analytics tab.
