Oh wait, Clarivoy does: http://www.clarivoy.com/products.html#analytics. There you go...
Evaluates the true cost per engagement and cost per lead by embedding Clarivoy's proprietary Multi-Touch Attribution model directly into Google Analytics so you no longer need to rely on Google’s last click attribution.

FACEBOOK ADS ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN MARKETERS THINK
http://www.orourkehospitality.com/facebook-ads-are-more-valuable-than-marketers-think/
Last-touch attribution models, or Last Interaction models in Google Analytics, give the last channel the user clicked through 100% of the credit for the conversion. Conversely, a First-touch (First Interaction) model would give the first channel a user clicked through 100% of the credit for the conversion. For example, say a potential guest first clicks on a PPC ad, later clicks on your Facebook ad, and then the next day directly goes to your site and books a room. Using last-touch attribution, the direct channel is given credit for the booking; using first-touch attribution, only the PPC campaign is credited with the conversion. In both models, the Facebook ad is ignored completely, even though it played a part in the booking.
Using a multi-touch attribution model spreads credit over different channels depending on controls.. A multi-touch attribution model would give the PPC campaign, the Facebook Ad, and the Direct visit credit for the conversion. By creating a customized multi-touch attribution model to track conversions, marketers are better able to allocate their budgets and understand the paths guests take when booking.

The problem with the CRM data, and DMS data for that matter is "garbage in, garbage out". As a few of the commenters have said, a lot of the time it's a process problem, but it is also a data problem. You should absolutely be focusing on your prior transacted customers and then following up with prior inquires. It's a multi-step, multi-channel approach that can be overwhelming and ineffective when done incorrectly. The first step to your marketing needs to be a clean, intelligent database, and then structured and targeted messaging and segmenting from there.
Consumers are using more data than ever before, more sources, and less showroom visits. 86% show up in your showroom knowing what to buy. You can't rely on just one channel and bad data to make your marketing decisions.

The last click someone clicks before they buy something isn't the moment they made up their mind. And our expectations of how this is going to sound, feel or taste is pre-wired by all of the clues and hints we got along the way.

✨ AI Highlights
Automotive marketing professionals debate whether CRMs and attribution models should drive marketing decisions, with consensus emerging that CRMs were built for customer management—not marketing analytics—and that relying solely on them produces incomplete data. The thread highlights vendor-driven hype cycles (SEO, social, attribution) that distract dealers from fundamental issues like lead handling, employee training, and sales processes that actually impact results. The core insight is that dealers need to separate "products" (software tools and dashboards) from "process" (internal training and execution), as the latter often matters more than technology investments.
