The Truth About Leads. Revealing little-known secrets that focus your lead-generation efforts, align your sales and marketing organizations and drive revenue. Dan McDade.

The Truth About Leads. Revealing little-known secrets that focus your lead-generation efforts, align your sales and marketing organizations and drive revenue.  Dan McDade. 2011. ISBN 9780983026709. This is a treasure of a book.  Absolutely agree with every word.  EG:

  • Executive and C-Level management owns responsibility for providing high level market, message, and media  strategic direction.  and
  • The strategic-level messaging most companies use does not work.

He also comes out against any firm that thinks using a metric like cost per lead tells them something useful. He is also against blueprinting.  A real advocate of nurturing leads until they are ready for the sales team. Begone the short term mindset.

A short. concise book full of nothing but the truth and how to do it. Every CEO, VP Sales and VP Marketing must have this book.  Buy it  and  keep it.
