Lead Conversion

Getting leads to convert into customers is the ultimate goal for all companies. A good lead management process will help you identify the status of your incoming leads, to determine the volume of leads required for each period, how adequate the lead flow is to keep your sales reps busy, how much pipeline and revenue they are generating and the return on marketing investment.

Leads typically go through stages from being a subscriber to your content or participant in your event, to being a Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) to a Sales Qualified Lead (SQL) and finally to a customer, and hopefully an advocate. Achieving effective leads conversion is complex as it usually requires cohesiveness and readiness across multiple functions.
