Monitoring this rate helps in assessing the quality of leads your marketing is attracting.

Lead Conversion HubSpot

Converting leads in HubSpot involves several steps, starting from identifying high-intent behaviors to aligning sales and marketing efforts through SLAs (Service Level Agreements). HubSpot's conversion tools, including email sequences, lead scoring, and lifecycle stage tracking, enable a smooth transition of leads to customers. Custom funnel reports can be utilized to visualize this conversion process, showing the rate at which leads move from one lifecycle stage to another.

For detailed lead conversion reporting, leveraging HubSpot's funnel report type is recommended. This report type shows the conversion rate from one lifecycle stage to another, such as from 'Lead' to 'Opportunity'. However, for more granular tracking, such as the number of activities it takes for a contact to convert, custom properties and workflows might be necessary to capture and report on these specific metrics.
