02 / Attribution · vendor management · budget oversight

Making every lead source accountable.

I connected acquisition activity to lead records, enforced provider standards, and built a shared reporting workflow for a revenue-share partner.

My role

Ownership through adoption.

I managed the lead-provider budget and relationships, established standards, and communicated changes to executive leadership. I worked directly with provider account managers and technical contacts to resolve integrations and improve delivery.

Outcome

What changed.

Clearer source attribution, enforced provider standards, and a shared lead tracker to support spending and follow-up decisions.

The project, stage by stage

How I moved the work forward.

All 6 stages

01 / Challenge

Spend was visible. Its downstream value was harder to see.

The company lacked reliable CRM attribution for some advertising activity. Lead-provider quality varied, and manual handling made it difficult to connect spend, lead handling, and results. I also identified gaps in the information available for a revenue-share provider.

02 / Ownership

I owned source performance and the technical connections.

I managed the lead-provider budget and relationships, established standards, and communicated changes to executive leadership. I worked directly with provider account managers and technical contacts to resolve integrations and improve delivery.

03 / Build

I connected tracking, delivery, and follow-through.

I created source-specific tracking numbers in CallRail and implemented attribution for Google Ads and Facebook Ads. Where needed, I connected providers through Zapier, APIs, and webhooks so leads reached the CRM and Hatch and the right employees received notifications.

04 / Decide

I directed spend toward services and sources that met our standards.

I enforced lead-quality requirements, managed credit issues, and stopped working with providers that failed to meet standards. I focused provider targeting on profitable services the sales team actively sold—primarily roofing and windows, with the mix varying by provider.

05 / Collaborate

A custom tracker gave both organizations the same reference.

For a revenue-share partner, I built a Zapier workflow that also captured incoming leads in a shared spreadsheet. It preserved provider lead IDs and details and gave the inbound team space for last-contact dates, notes, and rejection reasons. The provider could review the same lead-level information.

06 / Outcome

Better visibility supported more disciplined spending.

Attribution, provider standards, and budget oversight contributed to the combined reduction in advertising spend and increase in inbound revenue. The shared tracker created a practical operating process between our team and the provider. Its individual financial impact was not separately measured.
