Attribution source override for sales-sourced leads

Marketing opsContactMarketing Hub ProfessionalIntermediate~30 min to buildFull spec

Outcome. A lead a sales rep personally sourced, a referral, a cold outreach reply, a conference conversation, gets attribution correctly labeled as sales-sourced, instead of inheriting whatever marketing-tracked source happened to be present from an earlier, unrelated touch.

When to use it, when not to

  • UseUse when sales frequently sources their own leads outside marketing's tracked channels, and marketing's attribution reports currently misclassify those as a marketing channel because of an earlier stray touch, for example a person who once filled out an old form and years later gets personally prospected by a rep.
  • UseUse to keep sales-sourced pipeline visible and separately reportable from marketing-generated pipeline.
  • SkipDo not use to let sales relabel a genuinely marketing-generated lead as sales-sourced to claim credit. Pair the override action with a required reason field and periodic spot-checks to keep the data honest.
