To ensure accuracy, I performed thorough data cleaning across all funnel stages. This included:
Removing duplicates and irrelevant entries (e.g., test data or bots)Handling missing values by applying default rules or flagging themStandardizing column names and data formats (e.g., date/time, funnel stages)Validating consistency between stages using unique lead IDs
I also checked for anomalies like negative conversions or skipped funnel stages, and resolved them through cross-referencing with source data. Clean data was essential to ensure reliable insights in the dashboard.
Step 4: Analyze Data.
With clean data, I began analyzing how leads moved through the funnel. I calculated key metrics such as:
Conversion rates between each stage (e.g., Click-to-Lead, Lead-to-Sale)Drop-off rates to identify bottlenecksLead performance by source and campaign
I also explored trends over time and segmented data by region and channel to uncover patterns. This analysis helped me identify which stages needed improvement and which sources brought the highest-quality leads—insights that would shape the dashboard visuals.
Step 5: Creating Dashboard & Communicating Findings.
I built an interactive dashboard to visualize lead performance across the funnel and uncover insights for decision-making. Key KPIs displayed at the top include:
Total Leads: 130Expected Amount from Converted Leads: $7.5KConversion Rate: 3.1%Converted Accounts: 4Converted Opportunities: 4
To enhance usability, I added filters for Lead Source, Status, and State/Province. Visuals include:
A map showing lead distribution by geography with size for volume and color for conversion rate
A bar chart comparing conversion status by lead source
A treemap showing leads by industry, with conversion rate represented by color and count by size
This dashboard made it easy to spot high-performing regions, sources, and industries, helping guide strategic focus areas.
