New Research Reveals 9 out 10 Companies Lose Revenue Due to Issues in the Lead Lifecycle Management Process


Most companies (95.4%) are facing annual revenue loss due to operational issues related to lead lifecycle management, according to new research released today from Tray.io, the leader in low-code automation and integration. Of the companies who reported $100M or more in revenue, more than half (68%) estimate a loss of at least $5M?five percent of their revenue?annually. The research analyzed current challenges Sales Ops, Marketing Ops and RevOps (Revenue Operations) teams face when attempting to deliver high-quality leads through their marketing and sales pipelines, including time-consuming processes, lack of integration capabilities and complex tech stacks. The top three business objectives of operations teams surveyed include increasing the total volume of deals moving through the sales process and converting into revenue, delivering high-quality leads and improving engagement rates on content. However, these efforts are often obstructed by inefficiencies in the many steps involved in delivering leads through the sales cycle from initial capture to the point of sale?a staggering 88.6% of teams report issues with their lead lifecycle management processes.

"Without a reliable and scalable lead lifecycle management process, companies will continue to lose out on high-quality leads and the resulting revenue," said Dominic Lewis, CRO and co-founder of Tray.io. "Companies must deliver more personalized experiences in a timely manner for a large number of buyers. This puts tremendous pressure on operations teams to not only save time and cut costs but also establish competitive differentiation through superior customer experiences."

RevOps Professionals are Hamstrung by Manual Tasks and Limitations of Legacy Automation and Integration Tools

Nearly three out of four companies (71.8%) estimate at least five percent in annual revenue loss due to operational issues related to lead lifecycle management. At a time when cost saving and operational efficiency are top of mind, more companies are turning to RevOps to increase sales productivity and ultimately improve customer retention.

The majority of teams (80.8%) report a clear desire to route leads?from inbound capture to sales?in one day or less. However, inefficiencies in the lead lifecycle management process prevent almost a third of companies (31.8%) from achieving this goal.

These inefficiencies are due to time-consuming, manual and repetitive processes; lack of integration capabilities; and a complex tech stack consisting of many siloed SaaS apps, with almost half of companies reporting the use of five or more applications in their lead lifecycle management process across teams.

These issues have a direct impact on revenue performance, contributing to slower response rates (46.7%), higher sales and marketing costs (45.8%) and lost leads (39.8%).

RevOps Professionals Agree: Yesterday's Automation Solutions Can't Fix Today's Lead Lifecycle Management Needs

According to the survey, 75.4% of companies are either leveraging automation and integration tools or are building integrations and automated workflows in-house to help improve their lead lifecycle management. However, these solutions still pose challenges including complexity, lack of resiliency and insufficient customization?all of which contribute to the growing gap between what businesses need and actual results. Nearly all (99.4%) of companies leveraging an automation and integration tool report experiencing the following issues:

Additionally, companies who build in-house integrations and automated workflows for lead lifecycle management also face roadblocks:

The Future of Successful Lead Lifecycle Management Starts with Low-code Automation

Companies are clearly struggling to fill the gaps in their lead lifecycle management processes, leaving ample room to improve revenue, increase customer retention and reduce cost and risk. When asked what respondents would most like to improve about their lead management processes, 40.2% of respondents revealed they want to increase speed, 29.7% want to increase flexibility and 18.3% want to enhance the reliability of their leads.

"The adoption of low code is the first step to maximizing the potential of RevOps and lead lifecycle management. Unlike iPaaS products designed for infrastructure integration that are slow and do not deliver customized experiences at scale, low-code automation enables teams to achieve a more sophisticated level of alignment across departments and dedicate their time and efforts to what's most important: building strategic, tailored customer experiences," concluded Lewis.

Survey Methodology

The Tray.io "Understanding Lead Lifecycle Management Processes" survey findings are based on the results of an online survey that examined the opinions of 518 U.S.-based RevOps professionals at organizations with 250 or more employees, including: 285 managers, 143 directors, 28 vice presidents, 17 senior vice presidents and 45 C-level executives.
