Response Destruction

Focusing on response rate alone can be destructive to a good campaign. A program might be considered ineffective if it does not reach a certain benchmark. But, just looking at response rates may be shortsighted. Instead, focus on cost per qualified lead and ROI.

Huge effort

"I want to pause and recognize the huge effort, teamwork and partnership with Direxxis allowing us to sucessfully launch a marketing portal that integrates data and content for Sales."
