Oracle JD Edwards on Twitter

Want to keep tabs on the Oracle JD Edwards leadership team? Lyle Ekdahl and others from the JDE management team have set up a Twitter account @OracleJDEdwards.

Would you like better leads for a lower cost?

Does this sound familiar?

Marketing teams often suggest that they create the majority of the leads in the funnel but sales doesn't get to them quickly enough--and marketing investments are wasted. Yet... Sales teams complain that marketing doesn't fill the funnel with enough qualified leads. As a result, they have to cold call to create most of their own leads, which takes away valuable time from selling.

So what is the solution? More sales ready leads at a lower cost...
