The goal of any business, whether in the rental sector or anywhere else, is to get good quality leads and then convert this into orders. After all, the acquisition of quality customers has a direct and positive impact on the bottom-line, and that is the ultimate goal of any business!

However, this process is not all that straightforward. There could be many instances where you have a lot of leads, but you do not have all the means to convert it into an order. Such a situation could be due to many factors that include:

  • Customer information being locked in silos preventing sharing and access
  • The support team not having all the information required to convert the lead to an order
  • Focus on sales and not on meeting the customer needs, which can be shortsighted
  • Key technology platforms not configured to provide the required support
