A campaign does not end at the click.
An inquiry may arrive from an ad, a search or a referral. Without a process to respond and record the outcome, the investment loses useful information.

Compare inquiry volume with meetings, proposals and confirmed sales. Keep these observations separate from campaign expectations.
