| FUNNEL FOCUS OCTOBER 27, 2010 No More Losing Leads to Competitors without a Fight According to Marketing Sherpa, 70% of your leads will end up buying something from you or one of your competitors, but they won’t do it right away. If you’re not experiencing a 70% lead-to-close conversion ratio, you’re losing leads to competitors!

To accomplish this, marketers need to shift their focus from lead generation to lead management. | FUNNEL FOCUS MARCH 15, 2010 Lead Generation is Not Lead Nurturing Have you ever noticed that the marketing campaigns produced by some companies all feel like lead generation efforts?

Lead generation is the act of motivating someone to give their permission for you to contact them. Lead nurturing is based on building a relationship after you gain that permission. Once you’ve gotten the lead to opt in, nurturing begins—or it should. Qualify sales-ready leads. | | | | | | | | | |
