Lead Response Time = Timestamp of First Rep Activity - Timestamp of Lead Creation
Lead response time measures the elapsed time between a new contact or lead being created in Attio and the first meaningful outreach by a sales rep (email, call, or meeting). It quantifies how quickly the sales team acts on new leads, which directly correlates with conversion probability.

How to calculate lead response time
Why lead response time matters for Attio users
The relationship between response time and conversion rate is well documented: leads contacted within five minutes are dramatically more likely to convert than those contacted after an hour. Attio captures both lead creation timestamps and first activity timestamps, providing the data needed to measure and optimise this critical metric.
Response time also reveals operational bottlenecks. If average response time is four hours, is it because leads arrive outside business hours, because routing rules are slow, or because reps are not checking for new leads frequently enough? Each cause requires a different solution. Tracking response time with dimensional breakdowns (time of day, lead source, assigned rep) pinpoints the root cause rather than leaving teams guessing.
Understand and act on lead response time with KPI Tree
Land Attio contact creation timestamps and first activity records in your warehouse through ETL. KPI Tree calculates response times by matching lead creation events with the first rep-initiated activity on each contact.
Position lead response time as a critical leading indicator in your metric tree, feeding directly into conversion rate. Assign ownership to individual reps and their managers, set SLA-based alerts for response times exceeding target thresholds, and track response time distributions by rep to drive accountability and coaching.

Contact-to-Deal Conversion Rate
CRMMetric Definition
Contact-to-Deal Conversion Rate = (Contacts with Active Deals / Total Qualified Contacts) x 100
Contact-to-deal conversion rate measures the percentage of contacts in Attio that progress from initial CRM entry to being associated with an active deal. It is the most direct measure of whether your lead generation and qualification processes are producing contacts that enter the sales pipeline.
Contact Engagement Score
CRMMetric Definition
Contact engagement score is a composite metric that quantifies how actively a contact is interacting with your team based on activity data logged in Attio. It weights emails exchanged, calls completed, meetings held, and recency of last interaction to produce a single score indicating relationship strength and buying intent.
Activity Volume Trends
CRMMetric Definition
Activity volume trends measure the total count and distribution of logged activities (emails, calls, meetings, notes) across time periods in Attio. This metric tracks whether activity levels are increasing, decreasing, or seasonal, and segments volume by activity type, rep, and deal stage to reveal effort allocation patterns.
Task Completion Rate
CRMMetric Definition
Task Completion Rate = (Tasks Completed On Time / Total Tasks Assigned) x 100
Task completion rate measures the percentage of assigned tasks in Attio (follow-up calls, email responses, proposal sends, contract reviews) that are completed within their due date. It reflects sales process discipline and directly impacts deal progression and pipeline health.
