In marketing, it’s common knowledge that lead quality is generally more important than lead quantity. And yet, marketing lead qualification remains a sticking point for many organizations. In fact, 61% of B2B marketers send all leads directly to sales, but only 27% are sales qualified ( source ). This statistic highlights a huge discrepancy.

They have to be built right. The trouble is, most marketers still spend most of their time perfecting the pre-click experience than they do the post-click experience.

In the B2B marketing toolkit, white papers can be a powerful option for reaching decision-makers and experts, presenting them with interesting information that improves their perception of your organization's competence and thought leadership.
