PLG to sales-assisted: tracking the full B2B revenue path
Self-serve signups and enterprise closed-won deals happen weeks apart. Instrument product milestones and CRM offline events so ads optimize on the full funnel.

Problem: Self-serve trials convert in-product. Enterprise deals close in Salesforce six weeks later. Meta only sees the trial — not the $40k ARR contract — so campaigns optimize on the wrong signal.
Two motions, one brand
Product-led growth fires SignUp and StartTrial in days. Sales-assisted deals add BookDemo, opportunity stages, and Purchase with variable ACV months later.
If you only optimize on trial starts, paid social over-indexes on low-intent users. If you only optimize on closed-won, algorithms starve for volume.
Product-side instrumentation
Fire SDK events at self-serve milestones with stable eventId. Use identify() with work email from Clerk or your auth provider.
Do not send fake Purchase on trial start — use StartTrial and map it in Configure to the platform event you actually optimize.
trackstack.capture("BookDemo", {
email: lead.email,
eventId: `demo_${lead.id}`,
});Sales-assisted bridge
When AE marks opportunity closed-won, push an offline or server event with deal value and same email hash used at signup. Meta Offline Conversions and Google offline import support this pattern.
Align CRM email with product signup email — domain aliases break match.
Campaign structure
Prospecting campaigns optimize on SignUp or BookDemo. Retargeting and brand search may use Purchase or custom offline events once volume exists.
Document which canonical event each campaign uses — prevents teams from mixing signals.
Verify both paths
Product events appear in delivery logs immediately. CRM events need monitoring on offline upload jobs — treat failed uploads like failed API calls.
