The majority of purchasing paths are not in a straight line. Customers can discover your brand, interact with it, and progress further down the sales funnel in a variety of ways. As a result, attribution models have become a must-have tool for B2B SaaS marketers wanting a bird's-eye view of the entire customer journey from the start to the finish with data.

Meet Steffen Hedebrandt, CRO and Cofounder at Dreamdata, a revenue attribution platform. For marketers who run campaigns across multiple platforms, it can be challenging to figure out which channels directly generate the most leads that move efficiently through the sales funnel and down the conversion funnel. A key tactic for better ROI and improved customer experience is having the right attribution model.

Steffen shares that users in anonymous journeys of exploring the product spend as much time or even longer than in the sales cycle.
