Key Takeaways

✦

Implement a robust lead capture system with clear calls to action on all devices and channels, ensuring every lead source points to a capturable action.

✦

Prioritize 'speed to lead' by establishing a rapid response mechanism for new inquiries, ideally with a dedicated person or small team for immediate follow-up.

✦

Adopt a CRM system (e.g., Market Sharp, Lead Perfection) to track every lead's journey, identify funnel leaks like 'cancel priority' and 'demo no sell,' and ensure consistent lead management.

✦

Develop an attribution system to understand the cost per lead and revenue generated by each marketing channel, enabling data-driven budget allocation.

✦

Create a 'nurture and follow-up' system for 'dead' leads and past customers using automated emails and texts, recognizing them as low-cost potential revenue sources.
