Lead Generation Metrics That Actually Matter (And What to Ignore)

Tracking the wrong metrics can kill growth.

This guide breaks down the only lead generation KPIs that matter — and how to improve them.


Vanity Metrics vs Revenue Metrics

❌ Vanity metrics:

  • Total leads

  • Website traffic

  • Open rates alone

✅ Revenue metrics:

  • Qualified leads

  • Reply rate

  • Cost per lead

  • Conversion rate


The Most Important Lead Generation KPIs

1. Lead Quality

Better data = better conversions.

2. Cost Per Lead (CPL)

Lower CPL with automation.

3. Reply Rate

Measures targeting accuracy.

4. Conversion Rate

From lead → meeting → deal.
