WHY INBOUND
LEADS 1
Sales has a Quota
Marketing has a Quota
Leads
These are not our normal leads.
These are INBOUND LEADS.
INBOUND LEADS ARE BETTER
Inbound Leads vs.
Outbound Leads
Outbound Leads: A lead that is acquired
through purchasing, cold-calling, direct
mail, advertising or a contact us form on a
website.
Inbound Leads: A content-driven,
engaged lead that finds you while doing
online research.
8x Inbound Leads are 8x more likely to close into customers than Outbound Leads.
Inbound Leads close better.
