I was crying at night looking at all the time my team was
spending manually preparing data files from all the different
vendors, trying to get the data validated, loading it into the
system, then running reports to see all the bounce-backs that

effort to get leads IN, I still struggled to determine the lead
sources that were driving in great leads.

and how they are performing – is key to our strategy’s success.”
