B2B Marketers Can Govern L2RM With The Funnel But Must Design To The Customer Life Cycle

The lead funnel (along with funnel derivatives such as the waterfall) gets well-deserved celebrity for giving business-to-business (B2B) marketing pros a metaphor to communicate the relevance of marketing activities to revenue performance.

It also gives guidance about how the funnel can still serve B2B marketing professionals as an L2RM management tool.
