Property-manager appointments: confirmed versus pipeline

Four confirmed appointments against a target of seven represent approximately 57% of the appointment target. The eight leads, six feedback responses and three further prospects are distinct reported measures.

Can pipeline contacts be counted as completed bookings?

No. The three further prospects are possible future bookings. They do not establish that seven appointments were booked, held or converted into customers.

How should a similar property campaign be reported?

Track unique enquiries, responses, qualified property-manager contacts, confirmed bookings, attendance and sales. Keep duplicates and unsuitable submissions outside the qualified appointment count.
