Sneak Peak at WhosOn2011
Organisations invest a significant amount of time, money and energy meeting potential prospects, pulling lists, attending trade-shows, reading articles, doing research, optimizing their websites and numerous other activities to identify the most ideal prospects for their business, however many of these prospects never end up in an opportunity pipeline.
it is therefore crucial that organisations proactively reach out to these longer term sales opportunities to ensure they convert on into revenue opportunities when they are ready to buy.
