Your inbound leads are slipping through the cracks.
Without an effective process for validating, enriching, scoring and routing inbound leads, you’ll continue to see opportunities drain into the void. Luckily for you, your competitors are facing the same problem. Unfortunately for you, they’re working to fix it before you do.
Let’s explore some common questions you might have about the costs of operating an ineffective inbound lead management process, and get you one step closer to cutting off your opportunity-to-void pipeline – before your competition does.
Question #1: What’s really going wrong with our inbound leads?
Answer: On the surface, you may think you’re generating good volume. But if your inbound leads aren’t being responded to within minutes – and routed to the right rep with accurate, enriched data – they’re going cold fast. In fact, 78% of buyers end up purchasing from the company that responds first. If your follow-up takes hours (or worse, days), your pipeline is quietly bleeding out.
Question #2: Why is response speed such a big deal in B2B?
Answer: B2B buyers do their research fast and expect the same speed in return. The first company to respond is seen as the most prepared, the most helpful, and the most credible. Yet most teams rely on manual lead routing or outdated scoring models – creating lag that lets competitors win deals before you’ve even said hello.
Question #3: What causes slow response times?
Answer: Three main culprits:
- No real-time lead-to-account matching – so you don’t know who they really are.
- No enrichment – meaning reps lack context and can’t personalize follow-up.
- Poor scoring and routing logic – so leads either go unworked or get sent to the wrong person.
Question #4: What’s the business impact of these gaps?
Answer: It’s bigger than you think! Slow or missed follow-ups lead to:
- Lower conversion rates
- Wasted marketing spend
- Duplicate or conflicting outreach
- Poor customer experience
- Lost revenue (that goes straight to your competitors)
Every unqualified lead that hits a sales rep’s inbox is time wasted. Every qualified lead that sits untouched is an opportunity lost.
