Editor's Notes
- #10 Sales teams typically focus on finding more and more prospects, close the ones they can and disregard the rest.
- #11 Typically 80% of the “leads” your spending time finding and qualifying are disregarded!When I ask business owners “What happens to the leads your sales team doesn’t close?”, most say something like “My sales people keep following up indefinitely.” or “We put them onto our marketing list and send them our newsletter.”It’s also true that the #1 problem business owners report with the sales people is “lack of follow up”.
- #12 What if you took that 80% (disregarded or cold or dead) leads and nurtured them with a few automated emails?
