Abandoned Leads
Abandoned Leads are leads that meet the following conditions:
- The lead is not archived.
- The lead is not in any of the Lost, Junk, or Won stages.
- The last activity on the lead occurred more than 5 days ago.
- No upcoming reminder is set for the lead, or the reminder time has already passed.
Having more abandoned leads indicates a lower maturity rate, while fewer abandoned leads suggest a higher maturity rate.
In the auto dealership industry, the average benchmark for abandoned leads is 31%, depending on the software used and the sales process.
For example:
- If the sales team is too busy, does not allocate sufficient time to nurture leads, or frequently switches between tasks and leads, it can result in a higher lead abandonment rate.
- Conversely, when a salesperson uses a good lead management software and focuses on a lead until the work is complete, the abandonment rate is significantly lower.
