Sales leads are the lifeblood of every organization's marketing effort. But they are all too often the most under appreciated and inappropriately utilized corporate assets.

This invaluable book delivers a proven solution to one of the most difficult sales issues: managing leads. Packed with practical insight, Managing Sales Leads is a powerful, hands-on reference for every manager from mid-level sales and marketing manager to senior level corporate executive for virtually every size of company, as it shows how to get the most out of this crucial corporate investment.
