This module enables you to analyze CRM pipeline data to track lead progression, identify conversion bottlenecks, and evaluate customer lifecycle movement from first contact to closed deal.

By the end, you will be able to design data-driven personalization workflows, create meaningful customer segments, and align CRM messaging strategies with customer lifecycle behavior and business goals.

Traffic going up while cost per acquisition rises is one of the most common, and most misdiagnosed, problems in performance marketing. The numbers look healthy on the surface, but somewhere in the funnel, spend is leaking. This project module places learners in the role of a Performance Marketing Manager at EcoStream, an eco-friendly subscription service, tasked with finding that leak before the next budget cycle closes. Rather than auditing each channel in isolation, learners work across paid media, SEO, and CRM pipeline data simultaneously — identifying where ad spend is generating clicks that never convert, which organic keyword opportunities are being left on the table, and at which pipeline stage leads are consistently stalling. The culminating deliverable is a $20,000 budget reallocation proposal that must trace every dollar moved back to a specific finding, not a general assumption about channel performance. By the end of this module, you will be able to conduct a cross-channel performance audit, identify channel-specific bottlenecks with data-backed evidence, and produce a financially grounded reallocation recommendation that connects paid media, SEO, and CRM findings into a single, defensible strategy.
