Are you missing potential revenue in your business?

Bruce Bignell believes that potential business is being lost because of poor systems, that allow leads to go to waste, often due to a lack of following up.

He wonders if businesses actually generate enough leads but don’t maximise their potential.

He challenges business owners to ask themselves… do you have a lead problem or is it a system problem?

In an in-depth SBT feature, Bruce explores where the problems lie - and looks at how they can be fixed - https://issuu.com/lifemediagroup/docs/sbt_issue_501/37

You can also catch him and Sean Evers (VP of Sales at Pipedrive) diving deep into revenue recovery at the Evolve [26] event on Friday, June 26th at the Brighton Centre!
