The B2B lead handoff process is broken. Marketers invest a ton of time and resources to acquire leads using a variety of tactics, from data acquisition to SEO to trade shows to paid ads. Additional money is invested in marketing automation and content marketing to cultivate and nurture individual leads until they’re deemed ready for sales, at which point the all-important “handoff” is completed. Passing individual leads is ineffective.
