Which customers are generating the most pipeline through their network?

Identify customers contributing the most pipeline by connecting documented introductions to meetings, qualified opportunities and closed-won outcomes. Track the individual connector and customer organisation separately, with a consistent attribution policy. A single name field helps but is not the entire measurement; evidence, dates, stable identities and sourcing definitions are needed for reliable reporting.

Build the underlying record

Capture connector, target person, account, request and introduction dates, status and related opportunity. Keep source evidence where permitted. Distinguish contributions to new opportunities from help on existing deals.

Compare several outcomes

Review introductions delivered, held meetings, accepted opportunities, pipeline and wins. Show denominators and maturity so a recent active customer is not compared unfairly with a long-running source.

Consider quality and workload

A customer sending many weak introductions may be less useful than one making a small number of highly relevant connections. Monitor ask frequency and concentration to avoid overusing the most helpful people.

Handle missing history honestly

Reconstruct past contribution from reliable records and account-team context where possible. Label uncertain attribution rather than pretending every historical introduction can be recovered precisely.
