What is
a
Lead Generation and Qualification Analysis Report
? Lead generation and follow-up tracking reports are considered important control and sales funnel tools and are often used by marketing and sales managers to keep an eye on the volume of incoming leads and how quickly their team are able to qualify them. Some of the key functionality in this type of report is that it brings in data from the company's CRM system and provides transactional detail as well as summary KPIs. The report can be produced for any given date range such as the current week or month or year-to-date. Individual leads are listed in the rows while the columns contain important fields from the lead transactions. At the bottom of the report the user can see the total leads for the period as well as the average days it takes the organization to contact (typically the same as "modify") each lead. The color coding in the "Days before Modified" column highlights leads based on how long it took for anyone to contact them. You find an example of this type of report below.
Purpose of
Lead Generation and Qualification Reports Companies and organizations use Lead Generation and Qualification Reports to quickly and easily see how many leads came in during a given date range and how long it took them to be followed up on. When used as part of good business practices in a Sales and Marketing department, a company can improve its lead qualification efficiency and sales forecasting as well as reduce the chances of lost revenues because it takes too long time to contact incoming leads.
