		<title>Comment on Talkin’ ’bout lead generation by Tim Young</title>

		<description>Hi Sally,

Well, you're totally right that systems, whether it's salesforce, Siebel or homegrown won't (by themselves) result in a closed-loop system.  This has been an elusive goal of many marketers for years.

Agreeing on a standard lead definition is very important, but that's to serve as knowing when to hand off a prospect from marketing to sales.  In itself, it is a different subject than closed-loop marketing.

I've been involved with implementing many closed-loop lead management systems and, you're right that just having part of the team follow-up with sales reps is a viable solution. Too often everyone wants to look for a complicated technological answer (CRM), when all that is needed is a simple follow-up system to ask the sales rep, "what happened to the lead". You'll also get other insights, such as their perception of lead quality, and whether or not the ULD needs to be revised, as it does from time to time.
