How Does Revenue Marketing Improve Lead Handoff?
Fix the handoff, fix the funnel. RM6™ standardizes definitions, SLAs, routing, SDR workflows, and feedback loops for zero-drop lead transitions.
Revenue marketing improves lead handoff by turning it into a governed process: shared MQL/SQL/SAO definitions, SLA-driven response and disposition, automated routing and enrichment, SDR plays with talk tracks, and clear recycle paths. Using RM6™, Pedowitz Group connects people, process, and technology so every qualified lead is worked fast and measured accurately.
Lead Handoff Essentials
Make Handoffs Predictable, Fast, and Measurable
In RM6™, Process and Technology pillars remove friction while People and Customer ensure quality and context. The goal: every qualified lead gets timely action and a clear outcome—advance, recycle, or disqualify—with visibility in a single scorecard.
Lead Handoff Flow (Operational Template)
1) Qualification
- Apply fit + intent + engagement scoring
- Stamp lifecycle stage (MQL/MQA)
- Enrich record (company size, industry, tech)
2) Routing
- Auto-assign by territory/segment/product
- Notify owner in CRM + email + Slack
- Start SLA clock (first-touch)
3) SDR Action
- Use approved talk tracks & sequences
- Log outcome and next step in CRM
- Convert to SQL/SAO when qualified
4) Disposition
- Accepted → meeting set / opp opened
- Rejected → code reason (fit, timing, dupe)
- No response → recycle to nurture
5) Recycle & Nurture
- Auto-enroll to program by reason
- Personalize by persona, problem, stage
- Re-qualify on new intent or threshold
6) Reporting
- Track SLA compliance & speed-to-lead
- Show sourced/influenced pipeline
- Analyze conversion & rejection patterns
