What is Sales Attribution?
Sales attribution is the practice of identifying which marketing or sales activities contributed to a closed deal, in order to measure their impact on revenue.
Sales attribution connects revenue outcomes back to the specific channels, campaigns, or activities that influenced them, such as a webinar attendance, an ad click, a referral, or a field visit. Without attribution, it is difficult to know which efforts are actually driving revenue versus simply happening to be present in the funnel.
Attribution models range from simple (first-touch or last-touch, crediting only the first or last interaction before a sale) to more complex multi-touch models that distribute credit across every touchpoint in a customer’s journey. The right model depends on sales cycle length and how many channels typically influence a purchase decision.
Attribution data helps marketing and sales leaders decide where to invest budget and effort, by showing which channels or campaigns produce the highest-value, highest-converting leads rather than just the highest volume.
Lavisho TT captures revenue attribution alongside UTM capture for marketing campaigns, so deals closed can be traced back to their originating channel, campaign, or even a specific field visit, giving teams a clearer picture of what actually drives closed revenue.
