What is Lead Management Software?

Lead Management Tools go beyond the typical contact and interaction management capabilities that are core to Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Platforms. 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.
