The sales leads get generated all over the place in an organization. They get generated through a focused effort (like advertisements, events etc.) or at the level of each sales person, who has his own sales leads. It’s a challenge to have the leads to be stored and tracked centrally so that an organization can have an understanding of how well the leads are being leveraged to boost sales.
There are two categories of leads:
The ones, which are generated by the sales staff.
Typically sales people hate to share there leads till they have reached a certain stage, as there may be a competition among the sales people. The best way to encourage a central tracking system is to provide to sales staff a system, by which they can feed and track the leads without them being seen by their peers.
The leads generated via marketing, and forwarded to sales staff for action
These leads start with a central database, but once they are forwarded to the sales people, it becomes a challenge to get an updated status on the same. This is possible through discipline and process robustness along with a good lead management system.
By tacking your leads centrally, you can give huge benefits in terms of boosting sales, maximizing benefits out of your marketing and lead-generation efforts and building a better customer perception. |
