Earlier this year I downloaded Silverpop’s lead management workbook , and I planned to write about it. Unfortunately, not enough time… Last week I received a copy of Marketo’s Lead Nurturing workbook. Both books show how you can increase sales by nurturing all leads, from inquiry to opportunity.

I wrote more about this and about Lead Management on the Genius.com blog. Let’s give two examples.

Manager, Inbound Marketing, Marketo. The vast majority of leads generated on a website never have a meaningful conversation with a sales rep.
