Sheet Names

This template contains four primary worksheets:

• Client Dashboard – A high-level summary view with charts and key metrics.
• Client Pipeline – Core table tracking each client’s stage in the marketing funnel.
• Campaign Tracking – Logs all marketing campaigns tied to individual clients.
• Performance Metrics – Aggregates calculated KPIs and historical trends.

Table Structures & Column Definitions

The core table is located in the Client Pipeline sheet, structured as follows:

Formulas Required

• In the Performance Metrics sheet, calculate total clients: =COUNTA(ClientPipeline[Client ID]) - 1
• Calculate average pipeline value: =AVERAGE(ClientPipeline[Pipeline Value ($)])
• Determine conversion rate from Lead to Closed Won:
  =COUNTIFS(ClientPipeline[Status], "Closed Won") / COUNTIF(ClientPipeline[Status], "Lead")
• Auto-populate last contact date using a VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP with the Communication Log in Campaign Tracking.
• Calculate ROI: =( [@Pipeline Value ($)] - [@Total Spent on Client ($)]) / [@Total Spent on Client ($)] * 100
• Conditional color-coding for “Overdue” clients: IF([Last Contact Date] < TODAY()-7, "Red", "")

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Status Colors: Green for “Closed Won”, Yellow for “Negotiation”, Orange for “Proposal Sent”, Red for “Closed Lost”.
• ROI Highlighting: Blue if ROI > 100%, Red if ROI < 0%.
• Overdue Follow-ups: Background turns pink if “Last Contact Date” is older than 7 days.
• Pipeline Value Tiers: Gradient fill from light to dark green based on pipeline value percentiles.
