SALES EFFECTIVENESS TIPS by Interlynx Systems

Q.We manually manage our sales leads. Why is capturing leads in a centralized database critical?

A. According to the results of a survey by the Sales Lead Management Association, a key complaint that was found was the need to capture lead information in a centralized database.



This is important because it not only helps you to track history, but a well developed lead database will allow you to “recycle” leads as well as to track statistics on the lead disposition.
