Lead Life Cycle Management
What is life cycle management? For lead management systems it is tracking a lead, only. One lead management solution maker states on their website, "When lead is qualified put into your CRM." And this "lead is qualified" means what?drud Leads are sent to sales people and partners. Most sales lead systems do not communicate with partners or remote sales people easily. The OEM or lead provider to salesmen, marketing or sales, trys to peer over the wall to see what is happening with the lead, but the wall is too high.
Now is the time to get more efficient. Make sure all sales steps are clicking. Look at the sales process and fix it to make it better. What are your sales stages? What steps are done to win business? Just look at deals that close and do a little soul searching. What stalls a deal? Why does one sales person close more than others? A tell tale measurement for sales managers is what I call stage duration. How long is a sales cycle sitting at a sales stage, like quote, or assessment, without showing progress.

Small Medium Business Probably Should Track Sales Leads
Small businesses with just a few sales people have lead management needs. The small, medium business must be very good at lead qualification and lead closing to first survive, than grow. The small business demands that each dollar of marketing spend is funneled wisely and that marketing is efficient. To do this, leads must be managed in a lead system.
