What MaxLeadz would fix first
Realistic example: marketing and sales are both half-right
Marketing says the campaign is working because CPL is low. Sales says leads are bad because people do not answer or do not fit. Both can be right. The missing part is a shared definition of a qualified lead.
The fix is not to blame sales or blame Meta. The fix is to write down rejection reasons, call speed, lead source, requirement, budget, and final outcome. Then that feedback must change the ad, form, and audience.
Sales feedback fields to track
- Answered or not answered. This separates real leads from unreachable leads.
- Budget and requirement. This shows whether targeting is correct.
- Reason lost. This tells marketing what to fix next.
