  • What are the primary components of an effective sales strategy?
  • When it comes to calculating customer profitability, how good is “good enough”? How accurate is accurate enough?
  • What's the difference between lead generation and cultivation?
  • What's the difference between "explicit" and "latent" demand?
  • Why is customer retention so much more important in B2B than in B2C?
  • What should I do with the leads that sales people disqualify?
  • When positioning ourselves vs. the competition, won’t prospects see us as negative and get turned off?
  • What's a good cost-per-lead? Are there any benchmarks?
