04 Leads Playbook

We define sales opportunities as interested prospects or hand raisers that have requested or agreed to sales contact. Generating these had raisers requires a consistent effort from both the lead generation process run by marketing and sales team prospecting..

  1. Lead Generation Process – A marketing led function consisting of a combination of ongoing awareness marketing and promotional campaigns supported by SDR calling efforts.
  2. Sales Prospecting Process -A sales team function consisting of defined sales cadences

Prospects that have requested or agreed to sales contact (hand raisers) are given a status of “sales ready“. These sales ready prospects are handed off to the sales team and run through the prospect engagement process.

Prospects enter the Deal Process and funnel once they have acknowledged receipt of a sales proposal. The purpose of this stage of the selling process is to increase deal close probability by leveraging proven methods..
