Episode notes
Feed Closed Deals Back To Ad Platforms
- Optimize ad platforms for revenue/closed deals, not just form fills.
- Mason recommends feeding closed-deal data from your CRM (HubSpot/GHL) back to Google so platforms bid on real revenue outcomes.
Use MER To See True Channel Impact
- Use MER (Marketing Efficiency Ratio) as a higher-level KPI when tracking is patchy.
- MER = total marketing spend ÷ total revenue, which absorbs tracking loss from privacy changes (30–40% data loss noted).
Websites Outperform Funnels For Many Offers
- Funnels still work for info/coaching but whole websites outperform funnels for many B2B and product offerings.
- Mason says SaaS buyers research more now, so giving nav and deeper pages can increase conversions.
