Common to most companies is generating and converting leads to build business. This may take the form of prospecting for leads, cold calling or more sophisticated lead generation campaigns.
In some cases where the responsibility lays with the sales person to create and convert their own leads they need no more than a simple contact management or CRM tool. This acts as their support, allowing them to keep on top of customers and new deals, keep notes and diarise appointments. But when leads are generated by marketing campaigns or are bought from lead sources, then making the most of these leads, monitoring success and then evaluating return, it’s time to utilize a Lead management system.
In any of the situations covered below, providing a Lead Management System to handle the lead distribution and tracking benefits the company, the sales management team and sale people.
- Companies and that use marketing to generate leads for sales to close.
- Marketing departments that are responsible for multiple campaigns and source of leads.
- Companies that create a volume of leads where automating the capture and distribution bring efficiency.
- Companies with multiple sales partners / channels
- Companies with a large and often disparate sales force
- Companies who use independent reps and agents that don’t work directly for you.
- Inside sales teams and call centers that distribute leads to reps:
- Companies that sell leads by qualifying and distributing leads.
If your sales people, your reps, partners or agents use a basic CRM system for receiving and updating leads, then in all likelihood leads will be getting lost, or forgotten and there is unlikely to be any sales process to follow-up. This vastly reduces your return on lead generation spend. Make sure you have the right tools for the job, lead management software should provide a focus on lead capture, distribution and then a work flow to aid follow-up and closure.
