"Aberdeen research reveals that best performing organizations not only understand the value of creating and delivering strong marketing programs but also are take concrete actions to manage the entire lead lifecycle from marketing capture to sales close. The top performing companies are tracking and measuring the marketing-to-sales lead lifecycle not because it's an elusive fool's journey but, rather, a tangible set of tasks and actions that are achieved through time, effort and focus.
