How to track B2B conversions when the searcher isn't the one who transacts?

Hi,

Wondering if anyone can recommend how to track B2B conversions when the searcher isn't the one who transacts? I am looking at my Adwords campaigns and I don't think the conversion is 100% right. In our industry, the eventual end user (and the person who does the search) does not have the authority to purchase the product. It is usually the purchasing department who eventually get in contact and purchase the product. Sometimes it is another company on behalf of the original company who purchase the part as we might not be on the vendor list. So, in this case, the order goes from the original searcher to their purchasing department to another company who then purchase from us. Just wondering how to track this on AdWords?

Thanks

Tracking Sales That Result From GA Trackable Leads?

I have a client who tracks leads via URL destination goal completions in Google Analytics - when a visitor hits their "quote form" thank you page, a "goal" is completed and thus a lead is tracked in GA. After that, none of the sales process is passed through to GA - The client enters data from form submissions into their CRM software, without any way of knowing which leads came specifically from PPC, email marketing, social, organic, etc., making determining true ROI impossible. We're wondering what the best way is to pass through the traffic source to our client, so they can attach it to the individual lead in their completely manual CRM. Mainly they care about CPC traffic. Any ideas?

Why are my Adwords Total Estimated Conversions Less than My Phone Call Conversions?

I'm having an issue with tracking some conversions in adwords. Google Adwords is saying I have 20 estimated total conversions in an account and 26 phone conversions. Adwords is saying that the phone conversions are included in the total, so I am confused as to how the part is having a higher total than the sum. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks!

I want to try some Google PPC ads on other sites but don't know what i'm doing.

We have seen a massive drop in traffic this year and i am contemplation using banner ads to try to increase sales and also to help with marketing. the problem is i know nothing about doing this. I have used it in the past but to limited success and i was just stabbing in the dark. I have a few questions. Am i better to target keywords related to the product or to the people who may buy my products? Is it better for direct sales or brand awareness? What kind of ROI can i expect if i get it working well? Is it better to pay for the big keywords or pic all the low hanging fruit? Does it work? Should i employ an expert, are they worth it? Any insights into the world of PPc would be a massive help.

Does anybody know of a good bulk import http response checker? The one I was using has disappeared and I can only find checkers that only take one URL at a time.

An example of something I'm looking for but I want to check multiple checkers: http://web-sniffer.net/
