How do you build multi-touch attribution for 18-month B2B enterprise sales cycles?

Direct Answer

To build multi-touch attribution for 18-month B2B enterprise sales cycles, focus on one measurable outcome, a single owner (RevOps or revenue ops), and a CRM-native implementation so reporting stays honest. Document the current state, define 3–5 fields or reports that prove progress, pilot on one segment, then scale.

Steps: audit tools and data → design the workflow → automate only what is validated manually → train the team → review weekly against a Pulse metric (conversion, cycle time, or data quality).
