Efficiency metrics prove the engineering, not just the funnelthe part marketing ops forgets
Funnel rates show the program works. Efficiency metrics show you built infrastructure instead of doing the work by hand. For a GTM Engineer seat, these are often the metrics that separate you from a campaign operator.
Efficiency metrics that signal a builder
- Enrichment match rate
- share of leads that got usable data from the waterfall
- Cost per enriched lead
- spend across providers divided by matched leads
- Routing SLA hit rate
- share of leads routed to an owner inside the target window
- Manual hours removed
- human time the automation replaced per week
- Pipeline error rate
- share of runs that failed, retried or fell to a fallback
These say "I built durable plumbing," which is what the seat is.
