For every business, a steady source of leads is vital to the ongoing success of the enterprise. Good leads should not be considered a one-and-done source of sales. Effective lead management and follow-up will ensure both a steady source of new leads and repeat sales with high levels of satisfaction from your existing customers.
As the World Wide Web has evolved and advanced, so have the techniques used to attract, convert and serve customers. Traditional outbound marketing techniques that once worked well have given way to newer inbound marketing processes that are more creative and more likely to appeal directly to a company’s target market.
Even the best designed and carefully crafted email marketing message won’t help you if it doesn’t get opened and generate click-throughs to your website or product page. Here are some suggestions for improving the open rates and click-throughs for your next email campaign.
The global business environment is vast, and a key component to success in that large arena is a unique brand and a distinctive business identity.
Somewhere within your customer database you probably have a substantial number of expired leads. You may have expended some effort trying to convert these leads into customers, but eventually you decided that they were no longer viable targets to pursue.
Acquiring and keeping customers is the core necessity for your business. When looking for ways to improve your client retention program, you can benefit from applying a well-tested and proven metaphor to guide your actions: the sales funnel.

To be effective, marketing must be focused. Even if your product has broad appeal, marketing your product must still involve targeting your advertising, offers and informational campaigns to the potential customers who are most likely to use what you have to sell.
