Want More GOOD Leads? Outsource Your Lead Gen!
by Kelly Hill, President, Sales Advisors of Florida
Lead generation used to fall squarely on the shoulders of sales reps. After all, their job is to get new business, so they should be able to bring in leads, right?
Well, times have changed. Generating quality leads takes a specific messaging strategy and multichannel prospecting (email, LinkedIn, calling). Sales reps need to be good at moving people through the sales pipeline, but they often don’t have the skills necessary to craft and conduct effective lead generation ideas. In fact, 40% of sales reps say lead generation is the hardest part of their job.
One solution: outsource the lead gen.
