Why Calling Everyone in Your Sales Process a "Lead" is Costing You Sales

By calling everyone in your sales process a “lead” you are losing valuable sights on how to improve which results in fewer sales.

Here’s a conversation every owner needs to have with their marketing and sales team which starts with,


“What is the company’s acquisition cost of a client?  Is the trend increasing or decreasing?  And what specifically can be done to improve it?”


If you received vague answers then here’s what the best marketing and sales teams do:


  1. Build a sales relationship process recognizing these four stages:
    • Target audience - your ideal client based on demographic and psychographic data
    • Suspects - those that responded
    • Prospects - contacted and engaged
    • Leads - qualified for your solution and can make a decision
  2. Measure your conversions from target audience to suspects to prospects to leads to customers/clients.
  3. Evaluate why people move and/or don't move from stage-to-stage
  4. Calculate your acquisition cost at each conversion
  5. Make changes in marketing and sales scripts to improve effectiveness and efficiency
