Overview
Marketing has become more effective and better than ever before at generating leads. However, most marketers would agree that these cost-justified leads fall into the “abyss” when they are turned over to sales. While companies try to train and manage their teams to follow up on all leads, very few companies have a seamless, consistent, and easy-to-manage process that literally ensures “no lead will be left behind.” Effective lead follow-up has been listed as the #1 issue between sales and marketing.
