There has been a steady drum-beat of an emerging category of software to manage sales leads.  The category is Sales Lead Management.   While Sales Lead Management is a big tent that encompasses many different disciplines and tools, if you search for the category of sales lead management software there are new entrants that say they aren’t CRM. Or are they?  Are these “entrants” just CRM companies that separate themselves from a crowded field?  ----more---- Our guest today is Ani Chiuzan head of customer marketing at Pipedrive.  Ani discusses the basics of a CRM system that salespeople like and what separates CRM from Sales Lead Management Software.  We discussed:  Why CRM abandoned its original purpose to serve the sales representatives' needs.

Program host, Jim Obermayer, read a recent press release from LeadMD and what caught his eye was the 133% growth figure for their year over year sales so far in 2019. “Why” is the question Obermayer asked the company.

I used to believe that conflicts between sales and marketing were so much trash talk between competing team mates.  When confronted with the question of which blade of the scissors is most effective it is obvious that one can’t do the job without the other.  Leadership has its responsibilities to minimize conflict within the company for the benefit of the investors and the bottom line.  That the issue between sales and marketing has been allowed to fester can only be laid at the doorstep of the company president.    If the presidents didn’t get a grounding in sales or marketing early in their careers, they are forever avoiding the nonsense that their sales and marketing managers perpetuate as they point fingers at each other because of failed revenue attainment. In this interview with Patrick Morrissey, General Manager of Overland Altify, we discuss how Patrick has solved this issue to get sales, marketing, and customer service to work together.   His approach may surprise you.
