High Performance Lead Nurturing and Lead Scoring: The Step-by-Step Guide

Getting to the Sales Ready Lead High performance marketers recognize that getting to the sales ready lead is the ultimate goal. While often viewed as a B2B challenge, B2C marketers that work with sales teams or indirect channels share the same goal – sales ready leads that optimize revenue through shortened sales cycles and the right kind of buyer. The sales ready lead has different criteria from one organization to the next, but the best practices of high performance marketers involve driving effective lead nurturing and lead scoring. Throughout this guide, we’ll use that terminology whether you are a B2B or B2C marketer. Our assumption though is that your marketing organization produces buying opportunities for a sales channel. As a result, the best practices and principles remain the same.
