TAKE AWAY
• Lead Management Optimization is a journey, not an overnight quick fix
• Need to be supported by both Sales & Marketing Executives
• Current processes and responsibilities will change
• Sales team will need to be trained on the new process and provide feedback
• New content will need to be developed
What to Expect
• Before starting, map your current processes, identify dead-ends & fix them
• Start small with a simple nurturing program and a simple lead scoring model
• Iterate based on sales feedback
• Communicate frequently to sales and train them on the nurturing program
• Make sure you have an SDR position, someone who qualifies marketing leads
