Atuando na gera??o de demanda, vejo que quando falamos de qualidade dos leads, existem dois pontos principais: ICP e SLA entre áreas. Um ICP bem estabelecido e claro torna a busca de leads e a sua qualifica??o muito mais eficiente. SLA entre áreas: analisar o que cada lead deve conter de informa??es e características para avan?ar no funil e ser repassado para as próximas etapas. Realizando esses dois processos, existem ganhos significativos, por exemplo a visualiza??o de possíveis gargalos e em quais etapas est?o ocorrendo.
