Cost-per-Lead, frequently abbreviated CPL, measures how cost effective marketing campaigns are at generating new leads. This metric is important because it provides a benchmark to establish sales goals, marketing budgets and the appropriate amount of money to spend per new lead.
To arrive at your average Cost-per-Lead, divide your total spend on lead-generating marketing activities by the number of total leads received through those efforts.
