Events are one of the biggest lines in the marketing budget, and the leads often go cold between the badge scan and the first sales call. This audit gives you a baseline for the four KPIs that show what an event returns, maps today's steps and their waits, and helps you decide which steps get an agent first.

It goes with our event follow-up process teardown, which walks through a common version of the process, where it leaks, and a redesign with an agent on your own Claude.

Work through the leak checklist and note the evidence for each one.

04

Decide who does each step

Questions

Questions

About the Event Follow-up Audit

How long does it take?
About two hours with your CRM open, per event you baseline.
Which KPI matters most?
Time to first follow-up moves first. Read it with the meeting rate at 30 days and pipeline per pound of event cost, so speed doesn't come at the expense of quality.
Does it work for customer events?
Yes. Use the same steps, and set the goal around adoption and expansion rather than first meetings.
Do we need an agent to use it?
No. The audit works on its own. If you want an agent on the routine steps, we build it on your own Claude account and measure it against this baseline.
