Proactive Triggers

  • Over-relying on one channel → Single-channel dependency is a business risk. Diversify.
  • No lead scoring → Not all leads are equal. Route to revenue-operations for scoring.
  • CAC exceeding LTV → Demand gen is unprofitable. Optimize or cut channels.
  • No nurture for non-ready leads → 80% of leads aren't ready to buy. Nurture converts them later.
