Marketing ROI is one of the most discussed and least understood metrics in B2B business. CMOs talk about CPL, impressions, and share of voice. CFOs care about one thing: for every rupee spent on marketing and sales, how many rupees come back as revenue?
The Only ROI Equation That Matters
Marketing + Sales ROI = Revenue Attributed to Marketing / (Marketing Spend + Sales Costs)
If you spent โน50L on marketing and โน1.2Cr on sales salaries last year, and โน8Cr in revenue is attributable to those activities, your combined S&M ROI is โน8Cr / โน1.7Cr = 4.7ร โ meaning every rupee invested returns โน4.70. Now you can benchmark, improve, and communicate to the board.
Building Your ROI Calculation
Track all marketing spend by channel
Exhibitions (โน25L), LinkedIn (โน4L), Google Ads (โน2L), Content (โน3L), PR (โน2L) = โน36L total. Each channel tracked separately.
Tag every lead with source and campaign
Source = Exhibition. Campaign = Electronica India 2026. This allows attribution when the deal closes 12 months later.
Calculate revenue by source
When deals close in VynDeal, revenue is automatically attributed to source. Sum revenue by campaign = marketing attribution.
Calculate ROI by channel
Exhibition spend: โน25L. Exhibition-attributed revenue: โน2.1Cr. Exhibition ROI: 8.4ร. LinkedIn spend: โน4L. LinkedIn revenue: โน1.2Cr. LinkedIn ROI: 30ร. Cut exhibitions. Double LinkedIn.
