Relax. It is surprisingly easy to prove that B2B marketing is contributing to your company's bottom line. Here's how.
Show the relationship between your marketing and your revenue
Start by looking for sales and revenue that can be linked to marketing activities. Simply compare lists of new customers or invoices to companies or prospects in your marketing database and look for matches. You don't have to find every sale that resulted from your marketing activities. Sometimes all it takes is one big sale to justify a campaign.
If sales haven't closed yet, count the number of qualified leads and use estimated conversion rates and average sales size to quickly determine the sales potential of those leads. Or look at the forecasted sales in the company's CRM system and compare them to the database of prospects, inquiries or qualified leads.
You can also send "Did you buy?" surveys to inquirers and qualified leads, using their answers to show that the prospects being targeted by your marketing are buying from you or the competition. Ask if they bought, and if so, from whom. Ask why and how much they spent. If your sample size is large enough, you can also use the answers you receive to estimate the number of sales and the amount of revenue that are represented by all the inquiries and leads you've generated.

Show other ways your marketing is more effective
This can range from showing how many more prospects you reached with your marketing messages to indicating the improvements that have been made in cost per impression, cost per inquiry, cost per attendee or cost per qualified lead.
List all the marketing projects your marketing team completed
Marketers often don't think about their own productivity when justifying the money the company invests in marketing. Unfortunately, people quickly forget what happened last month or last quarter. Or they simply have no idea what's involved in creating a mailing or designing a new Web site.
Pointing out the number of marketing projects completed, and all the work steps involved, can be a real eye-opener to others who are completely unaware.
Always be ready to make your case
I recommend that you block out a couple of hours to create your business-to-business marketing accountability reports every month so you'll always have up-to-date results at your fingertips. If you're pressed for time, use an intern or temp to do it for you.
