The important part: keep records under ALL 3
Every marketing activity should have a standard record:
Campaign → Activity → Platform → Employee/Agency → Cost → Leads → Sales → Revenue → ROI
For example:
ORGANIC
Instagram Reel → 0 ad spend → 12,000 reach → 35 leads → 3 customers
PAID
Facebook Ad → SAR 2,000 spend → 450 leads → 15 customers → SAR 40,000 revenue
DIRECT
WhatsApp follow-up → salesman Ahmed → 50 customers contacted → 8 quotations → 3 sales

That is what will allow you to sell a professional marketing service, rather than merely saying:
“We can post on Facebook.”
