Companies create new prospects every day, while often ignoring that salespeople give up on most prospects within 1-2 phone calls and in less than 30-60 days. They move on to the low hanging fruit of short term buyers and ignore that research shows that 75% of the purchasing decisions are made in the 4th to 12th months. In this interview with Chris Lynde, CEO of dbSignals he tells how to maximize the leads you have already. The host is Jim Obermayer.
