Conversion Rates: Evaluate the success rates at different stages of the sales funnel. Identify which touchpoints are most effective in converting leads into residents.
Lead Sources: Understand where your most qualified leads are coming from. This insight helps optimize marketing efforts and allocate resources effectively.
Sales Cycle Duration: Analyze the time it takes for leads to progress through the sales funnel. Streamlining this process can significantly impact overall sales performance.
