Measure marketing’s contribution to expansion revenue by aligning on shared KPIs (NRR, CLV, pipeline, win rate), enforcing SLAs between Marketing, Sales, and CS, and reporting to a single scorecard. Governance via a revenue council ensures accountability and decisions against one source of truth.

Expansion Measurement Checklist

Shared KPIs — Track NRR, CLV, pipeline, velocity, and win rate across GTM teams
Attribution — Connect campaigns and touchpoints to upsell/cross-sell and renewal decisions
SLAs — Define time-bound handoffs across Marketing→Sales→CS for expansion motions
Governance — Run a revenue council to clear blockers and make start/stop/scale calls
One Scorecard — Unified dashboards; measure outcomes over activity

From Activities to Outcomes with RM6™

The Revenue Marketing Index shows only 16% of organizations operate at full maturity—those with shared KPIs, SLAs, and revenue governance outperform peers by acting on a single scorecard.
