The measurement indic­ ators pertain to a demand creation model comprising a marketing automation platform and a sales force automation platform. A method for assessing per­ formance data using such a system includes the steps of defining a marketing automation platform and a sales force automation platform; qualifying a plur­ ality of leads from the marketing automation platform; transferring the quali - fied leads from the marketing automation platform to the sales force automa­ tion platform; qualifying at least a portion of the qualified leads transferred from the marketing automation platform to the sales force automation plat­ form; and calculating a rate of conversion based on the qualified leads from the marketing automation platform and the qualified leads from the sales force automation platform.
