So here it is. “I will track, measure, and manage my sales leads
in 2010.” When you commit to this, you’ll also be refining and
improving your marketing efforts throughout the year. You should treat
your sales leads as you would any other asset of your business. After
all, your sales leads are critical to the future of your business, and
the money you spend to generate each lead is the most important
investment you can make. To maximize your investment, you should know
what is working, what isn’t, and how each lead source is performing.
To get you started, here are some do’s and don’ts to help you stay
committed to your Contractors’ Resolution:
