One of the benefits of Internet marketing is that it’s much easier to collect data than traditional types of marketing, but just because you have the numbers doesn’t mean you’re getting the full story. In fact, if you’re not making lead validation part of your Internet marketing process, you’re getting only a small portion of the information you need, and that can quickly sink your efforts.
