Managing Sales Leads
Turning Cold Prospects into Hot Customers
by James Obermayer
Nothing happens until a sale is made. You can't make a sale without a qualified sales lead. These simple statements explain why sales leads are the lifeblood of every business. The author is James Obermayer, a principal with Cerius Interim Executive Solutions and a 25 year sales and marketing veteran. This is Obermayer's third book. In this work he emphasizes the importance of making the case to everyone in the organization that lead generation, qualification, and management can be integrated into all key business functions. In addition, he provides "business rules to operate by" as standards everyone in sales and marketing and the entire organization can use. And he shows how to measure the "asset" value of sales leads, giving managers the ammunition necessary to establish realistic and relevant ROI standards. This is the one book sales and marketing executives will refer to and use every day to manage the inquiry and lead management in their organizations.
