How does attribution work for long B2B sales cycles?

B2B sales cycles often run three to twelve months or longer. Standard last-click attribution models miss most of the journey because they only credit the most recent touchpoint. Revenue Proven is built for long cycles by letting you set lookback windows up to 180 days and showing every campaign that touched an account during that window.

Choosing the right lookback window

Revenue Proven syncs engagement data across five overlapping lookback windows simultaneously: 7, 30, 60, 90, and 180 days. The attribution table and dashboard KPIs can be filtered to any of these windows. For typical enterprise SaaS cycles of three to six months, the 90 or 180-day window usually shows the most complete attribution picture. For shorter transactional sales, the 30-day window may be sufficient.

• 7-day window: captures very recent intent signals, useful for short-cycle products
• 30-day window: a common starting point for mid-market B2B
• 60-day window: captures campaigns from two months ago that may have started a deal
• 90-day window: suitable for most enterprise sales cycles
• 180-day window: the broadest view, appropriate for multi-year deals

Multi-window attribution

All five windows are computed during each sync, so you can switch between them without re-running data. If an account first engaged with your ads 150 days before a deal was created, it will appear in the 180-day view but not in the 90-day view. Comparing windows helps you understand which campaigns are planting early seeds versus closing the deal.
