How to measure sales by channel

By VeyloCRM · · 3 min read

Many companies serve customers via WhatsApp, Instagram Direct, and Messenger simultaneously but don’t know which channel sells the most. With the origin of each conversation recorded, the answer becomes clear.

Record the origin

Every conversation needs to indicate where it came from: WhatsApp, Direct, Messenger, ad, or referral.

Same stages across all channels

New, in service, proposal, won, and lost. This way, the numbers are comparable.

Takes 20 seconds. Prefer to talk directly on WhatsApp?

Sale value

When closing a sale, record the value. Counting only conversations hides which channel brings the higher-value customer.

Campaign tags

Each campaign with its own tag. You know which ad generated each sale.

Weekly report

Conversations, sales, and revenue by channel. A simple table solves it.

Response time by channel

Sometimes a channel sells little because it is answered slowly.

Decide with the numbers

Invest more in the channel that sells, adjust the one that brings conversations but doesn’t convert.

Common mistakes

Customer service on separate devices, sales without recorded value, and decisions based on guesswork.

Frequently asked questions

What is the simplest way to know where each sale came from?

Record the origin channel in each conversation and mark the sale with its value when it closes. With these two data points, a weekly report already shows which channel brings the most revenue.

The bottleneck is almost never the team. It’s the time until the first response.

VeyloCRM responds to the lead immediately in your own language, organizes each conversation in the CRM, and keeps messages ready for the team — on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger.
