This is where it all starts and the opportunities to generate leads are greater now than they have ever been.

It is important to remember that leads should not be treated as all the same – for example a lead from a database is very different from one that has gone to your website and navigated to a product page!

• When we get leads do we categorise them? If not, how can we?
• When we have categorised them what messages do we want to send? Remember the message will be different dependant on the category.
