What is Lead Management Software?

These tools help sales teams add structure to the prospecting experience, and add extra rigor to the tagging a lead's place in the conversion pipeline. Lead Management tools are often framed as additional modules offered by a vendor to augment an application's existing functionality. These modules are commonly offered in concert with Marketing Automation Platforms or Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Platforms.

  • Interaction Planning
  • Prospect Tracking
  • Omni-Channel Communication Tracking
