I love it when a 'leads result' plan comes together.
I have been road testing a new lead generation platform called StrategyMix for about two months now. The results have been excellent.
I increased the prospects in my sales funnel by 37% (May2013)- and of greater importance I was up 15% on my average monthly client billing for the month. That's why I am giving an early ***** to StrategyMix. It works when it comes to results. http://www.strategymix.co.uk/
