Formulas Required
- In Campaign Tracker, ROI (%) = (Converted Leads * Avg. Sale Value - Budget) / Budget * 100. Use a reference cell in “Settings” for Avg. Sale Value.
- In Contact Log, use VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP to auto-populate Campaign Name from Campaign Tracker using Campaign ID.
- In Leads Dashboard, use COUNTIFS to calculate total leads per status, and SUMIFS for budget spent per channel.
- Use TODAY() function in “Days Since Last Contact” column to highlight stale leads: =TODAY()-[Last Contacted].
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Contact Status: “Closed Won” = Green fill, “Closed Lost” = Red fill.
- Last Contacted: If "Days Since Last Contact" > 14 → Yellow highlight; > 30 → Red highlight.
- ROI (%): Above 50% = Green, Below -10% = Red.
- Budget Utilization: If actual spend exceeds budget by >15%, highlight cell in orange.
User Instructions
How to Use This Template:
- Start by populating the “Settings” sheet with your campaign types and marketing channels.
- Add new campaigns in the “Campaign Tracker” sheet. The template auto-generates Campaign IDs.
- Enter new leads into “Contact Log.” Use dropdowns to assign source campaign and status.
- Update “Last Contacted” and “Notes” each time you interact with a contact.
- Once a lead becomes a customer, change their status to "Closed Won." The dashboard will automatically update conversion metrics.
- Review the “Leads Dashboard” weekly to track KPIs: Total Leads, Conversion Rate, ROI per channel.
- DO NOT delete or rearrange columns — doing so will break formulas and dropdowns.
