Why Lead Management Decisions Shape GTM Execution
Lead management is no back office function. In enterprise B2B, it determines how quickly teams respond, how well data flows between systems, and whether buyer signals turn into coordinated action. When leads are misrouted or poorly prioritized, opportunities stall and teams lose trust in the process.
More than one in four B2B sales and marketing professionals report that their current lead management approach fails to support a strong buyer experience. Even more concerning, only about one in ten companies consistently follows up on leads. These gaps create friction across the GTM lifecycle.
From capture to coordinated response
Enterprise lead management software connects inbound activity, qualification, routing, and follow up into a single operational flow. When aligned with the buyer journey, it reduces manual effort and improves speed and consistency across teams.
What matters at enterprise scale
As GTM motions grow more complex, software must support flexible routing logic, reliable lead to account matching, and clear visibility into outcomes. Solutions that lack these capabilities introduce risk instead of reducing it.
“Switching to LeanData from our legacy custom solution has given us much more control over how we manage our sales leads, resulting in increased agility, lower costs and the ability to pinpoint what’s going on with our lead management processes. Intercom’s experience underscores that when it comes to ‘build versus buy,’ why would you not want to buy a packaged solution built around the problem you are trying to solve?”Thomas Sunderland
