First Touch (FT) to Opportunity Create (OC) Date (Velocity)

Description description

This report calculates the velocity from the First Touch (FT) to the Opportunity Create (OC) date for your opportunities summarized by Marketing Channel. It allows you to understand how fast your opportunities are getting exposed to your brand and eventually becoming an opportunity.

  1. To begin, we’ll have to create a new formula field on the Bizible Attribution Touchpoint Object.

    Go to Setup > Create > Objects > Click on the Bizible Attribution Touchpoint object

    Click Next and Save.

  4. On to reporting!

    To buy some time, let’s start with an out-of-the-box report in the Bizible Touchpoint Reports folder. Select the report ‘Bizible Attribution by Channel (Qtr).’

  5. Click Customize and then look for your newly created field. In this case it’s TP Date to OC. Add this field as a column in your report and average the days.
