Then they sit, wait and go cold. I fix the handoff between marketing and sales in HubSpot, so every good lead gets an owner and a next step. [Find your starting point](https://ascendiadigital.com/lead-leak-quiz#start) Lead arrives→ Nobody owns it→ Reply comes late→ Lead is gone ## Marketing blames sales. Sales blames marketing. Both are partly right. Marketing sends leads that aren't ready. Sales doesn't call the ones that are. Nobody wrote down the rules, so everyone guesses. The cost is quiet. No alarm goes off when a lead goes cold. You only see it later: a weak quarter, a rising cost per lead, a team that stopped trusting the numbers. Illustrative team frustrations > Marketing says they sent us 300 leads. We can't use half of them. Sales lead > I don't know who owns this lead, so I left it. Sales rep > Sales never follows up. So why are we paying for more leads? Marketing manager > We have thousands of old contacts and nobody has touched them. Founder You already have HubSpot. The tool isn't the gap. The process around it is. ## How this system helps ### Marketing - See every lead's path, from first source to closed sale. - Know which channels send leads that sales actually wants. - Hear from sales why a lead failed: "not a fit" or "not yet". - Warm up not-ready leads with nurture instead of losing them. - Show leadership what marketing brings in, with numbers sales agrees with. ### Sales - New leads land with the right rep automatically. - See who to call first, and why. - Get fewer leads you can't use. - Follow-up tasks and reminders replace sticky notes and memory. - Get an alert the moment a nurtured lead heats up. ## What fixing the handoff looks like | Without the system | With the system | | --- | --- | | Nobody knows who owns a lead. | Every lead has an owner the moment it arrives. | | Leads wait days for a reply. | The right rep is alerted and a follow-up task is created. | | MQL and SQL mean different things to each team. | One shared definition of a ready lead. | | Not-ready leads get dropped. | They get nurture until the timing is right. | | Old contacts sit untouched. | "Not now" leads come back when the reason has passed. | | Two teams, two sets of numbers. | One report both teams trust. | ## How we work together Bundle all three steps, or focus on one area. Both work. They solve different problems. Recommended ### Bundle all three One plan from diagnosis to nurture. What the audit finds shapes what we build, and what we build shapes the nurture. Nothing gets lost between steps, and you work with one person who owns the whole picture. **Best when** leads leak in several places and you want it solved for good. ### Focus on one area Pick the step that matches your problem. You get the same depth, on a smaller scope. You can add the next step later. **Best when** you know where the leak is, or you want to start small and see how we work. 1 ### Audit and roadmap Find where leads get lost and what to fix first. **You get:** a clear diagnosis and a prioritized roadmap. What's inside - **Discovery with your team.** How sales and marketing really handle leads. - **Lead source mapping.** Every channel, and which ones never reach HubSpot. - **Ownership and assignment check.** The leads nobody owns. - **Qualification review.** Why sales gets leads it can't use. - **Follow-up and speed-to-lead check.** How long leads wait. - **Time-waste analysis.** Manual work eating the week. - **Prioritized roadmap.** What to fix first, and why. 2 ### System implementation Give each relevant lead an owner and a next step. **You get:** a working system with clear ownership and follow-up. What's inside - **Lead process mapping.** One process from first touch to sale. - **Lifecycle stages definition and setup.** No more arguing over MQL vs. SQL. - **Sales and marketing agreement.** What a ready lead is, and how fast it gets a reply. - **Lead routing.** New leads go to the right rep automatically. - **Follow-up automation and sequences.** Leads don't go quiet. - **Sales lead view.** Reps see who to call first. - **Feedback loop to marketing.** "Not a fit" or "not yet" in one click. - **Reporting and team training.** One set of numbers, and a team that uses it. 3 ### Nurture and reactivation Keep good-fit leads engaged until the timing is right. **You get:** a nurture strategy that warms up not-ready leads and revives old ones. What's inside - **Email nurture automation.** Journeys, timing and rules for entering and leaving. - **Lead segmentation.** Different messages for different leads. - **Lead scoring.** A clear signal of who is ready. - **Sales hand-back alerts.** Sales hears when a nurtured lead heats up. - **"Not now" reactivation.** Timed to the reason they gave. - **Database win-back.** Wake up old contacts. - **Nurture reporting.** How many become sales conversations. ## Where should you start? Pick the one that sounds like you. ### Start with implementation You know leads get lost. You know roughly where. You need the fix, not another report. - We confirm the problem in a short call. - We map the process and agree the rules with sales and marketing. - The system goes live and your team learns to use it. [Talk about implementation](https://ascendiadigital.com/lead-leak-quiz#talk) ### Start with the audit Leads aren't converting and nobody agrees why. Guessing is expensive. The audit shows you. - I talk to your sales and marketing team. - I trace how leads really move through HubSpot. - You get a ranked list of what to fix first, and why. [Talk about the audit](https://ascendiadigital.com/lead-leak-quiz#talk) ## Why work with me 7+ Years working in HubSpot Partner Official HubSpot Solutions Partner I'm Diana. I help companies that already have HubSpot turn a messy sales and marketing process into one that works. My focus is lifecycle automation, HubSpot strategy and RevOps. - **I start with the process, not the tool.** I map how your team really works before I touch a setting. - **I explain the why.** You'll know what we changed and what it fixed. - **Sales is in the room.** A system sales ignores is a system that fails. - **Your team can run it.** I train them, so you don't need me to keep it going. ## Let's talk about your lead process. You may be unsure where leads get stuck, or already know what needs fixing. Let's have a chat about where you are today and how I can help. [Let's discuss your lead management](https://meetings.hubspot.com/ascendia-digital/diana-general-meeting) Ascendia Digital · HubSpot Solutions Partner Free lead leak quiz · 2 minutes # Find out where your leads are leaking. Most teams lose leads without noticing. Do you know where yours are slipping? Take this 2-minute quiz to find out. - **Your lead management score.** A clear read on how well you’re handling leads today. - **Your leak points.** The exact places where your leads are slipping away. - **Your fix list.** What to tackle first, and how. Sound familiar? ## More leads aren’t always the answer. You want more customers. So you spend more time and money bringing in more leads. More ads, more events, more content. But what about the leads you already have? They’re sitting in your CRM, an inbox, or a spreadsheet someone started last year. Some never got a reply. Some got a call before they were ready. Some went quiet, and nobody noticed. **Most teams don’t really know what’s in their database, or what happens to a lead once it’s in.** And it looks a little different depending on where you sit. If you’re in marketing - You generated tens of leads every month. Sales says half are junk. - A hot lead comes in, but sales never follows up. - You can’t see which campaigns bring in customers. If you’re in sales - You chase leads who aren’t ready yet. - There is no clear follow up process and everybody does what they want. - There’s no time to follow up on every lead, so some go cold. ### You already paid for those leads. Don’t let them slip. Before you spend more on new ones, find out where you’re losing the ones you have. [Find out where you’re losing leads](https://ascendiadigital.com/lead-leak-quiz#quiz) What the check looks at ## Five areas to evaluate We follow a lead from the moment it arrives to the moment it turns into a sale, or doesn’t. 1 ### Capture Does every lead reach your system, with its source? 2 ### Qualification How do you qualify those leads? 3 ### Follow-up Is there a clear process or does everybody do as they please? 4 ### Nurture What happens with the leads who are not ready now? 5 ### Visibility Can you see what’s missed, and what turns into sales? ### Your score, right away Split across the five areas, so you see what’s working too. ### Your biggest gap The one area to fix first, so you don’t fix everything at once. ### A clear next step What to do with it, by email. Talk to us only if you want to. ![Diana Durdeu portrait](https://ascendiadigital.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Diana%20Durdeu%20portrait.png?width=300&height=300&name=Diana%20Durdeu%20portrait.png) WHO’S BEHIND THE CHECK ## A Certified HubSpot Partner Hi, I’m Diana, a HubSpot Solutions Partner. I help companies spot where their leads are leaking, and after 6+ years of working with HubSpot, I keep seeing the same problems. A form that sends leads nowhere. A follow-up that only happens if someone remembers. And leads who aren’t ready yet: either sales jumps on them too soon and scares them off, or they’re left in the database with nothing to bring them back. So I put them all together in this quick quiz. It helps you spot the issues in your own setup. And if you’d like help fixing them, I’m here. ## Find the leak before you spend more budget on generating more leads. 10 questions. 2 minutes. One clear place to start.
