When do your sales reps contact the lead? In the beginning, when the leads signs up for more info? Or do you wait for three days until your lead has studied the info he has got from you, or do you wait until your leads calls you?

Now you should check in which stage of the buying process your sales reps do contact the leads and change this to the last third of the buying process.

How long does it take until your leads become paying customers? One month, three months or six months or longer? How is the percentage rate of leads to customers for your business?
