- This KPI monitors the source for each lead that converted into a sale.
- For the Eisan Agency, its CEO stated that the only KPI that is critical is the "bottom line profitability percentage."
- For the founder of the LoSoMo Inc. agency, cost per acquisition (CPA) is the only KPI that can really make a mark.
- The other engagement metrics do not actually matter if there are no leads or revenues in the end.
- The average net margin of advertising agencies in the US is 7.08%.
- Approximately 90% of agencies have less than 50 employees.
