We discuss common pitfalls such as vague lead qualification, misaligned messaging, and the lack of a feedback loop between marketing and sales. Learn how to ensure that leads are accurately qualified—with clear budget, decision-maker, and timing criteria—so that the sales team receives valuable, ready-to-buy prospects.
