Nominations are Open for Annual '40 Inspirational Leaders in Sales Lead Management'

LYNDEN, Wash. - Oct. 4, 2016 - PRLog -- The Sales Lead Management Association (SLMA) announced that nominations are open for its annual election of the 40 Most Inspiring Leaders in Sales Lead Management. "This is an event to recognize inspirational leaders in our field," said SLMA CEO James Obermayer. "Sales lead management is the core discipline of managing revenue potential in all business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) companies. Without it, salespeople will fail and marketing departments will spend money aimlessly without proof of ROI. At the SLMA, we consider sales lead management to be corporate wealth management and our members recognize its importance by nominating and electing inspirational leaders in the field."

Sales Lead Management is a term that encompasses relative products and processes including: hardware, software, business intelligence, telemarketing, lead generation, content creation and management, branding, direct marketing, public relations, trade shows, corporate events, digital radio broadcasts, etc. These products and services are in some manner affected by the rules and processes of sales lead management. They may be different in each company for direct, indirect, inside and outside salespeople on on-line stores.
