Case Study: A US SaaS Brand Optimizes China Lead Generation ROI
A US-based SaaS company targeting enterprise clients in China faced difficulties in tracking ROI due to disconnected marketing and sales systems. Campaigns on Baidu and WeChat generated leads, but conversion tracking was incomplete.
We developed a unified analytics system integrating marketing data with the company’s CRM. We implemented lead scoring and full-funnel tracking, allowing the brand to identify high-performing channels and optimize targeting.
Within 6 months, lead-to-sales conversion rates improved by 22%, and marketing ROI increased by 40%. The brand gained full transparency into its China B2B funnel, enabling more strategic decision-making and budget allocation.
