The operational problem
The lead source is rarely the whole problem.
Leads may arrive through websites, email, calls, referrals, or existing software. The operational friction begins when someone must notice the inquiry, copy information, acknowledge the customer, assign responsibility, create reminders, check status, follow up again, and escalate untouched opportunities.
