2. What bloggers  wrote about you?
3. What was hot on social media for your domain area?
4. How many leads were created and what was the goal?
5. Did all of the leads make it to the right reps or did some end up misrouted?
6. How did your paid programs spending do last week?
7. Did your media company deliver a bunch of poor leads?
8. What events were completed last week and how does the cost/name and cost/lead compare with other programs?
9. What is your database turns ratio for last week and the associated click through rates on all emails?
10. How many 404 errors are on your site?

19. How many opportunities lost?
20. What is the current pipeline age and size for this month, next month and the following month? How did it change last week?

If you can’t answer these questions each week, you are risking spending too much time, money, and resources on things that don’t matter or perhaps, not spending enough time on things that do matter.  Before you keep moving forward spinning wheels in the wrong direction, take a time out, spend one day collecting data and analyze your business.  Going forward without full visibility is not a good strategy for sales and marketing success
