The Ugly Truth About Lead Generation ROI
An Entertaining Case Study Revealing the True Root-Causes Behind One Company's "Failing" Lead Generation Programs

- How problems with lead generation can often be traced to things that are removed from the process of generating leads
- How profitable lead generation requires that the right things are happening with those leads as they move downstream
- Why intermediate performance metrics are so important for identifying where the real problems may actually reside
- How finding the truth is always best for the business, but can also present "challenges" for the investigator or messenger
