A cold lead<\/a> is first and foremost a prospect<\/a>. This is a prospect who is potentially<\/b> interested in a company, its products or services, but has not yet made a purchase.<\/span> <\/p>

He is well identified, and the company often has information about him. However, he hasn’t really expressed any interest and has rarely, if ever, contacted the company. <\/p>

Cold prospects need to be guarded, and it’s in the company’s interest to pick up on every positive signal they give, so as to be able to contact them when the time is right. The cold prospect will stay away from the company for a long time, expressing little interest in it<\/b>, then one day take the plunge. If the cold prospect is actively seeking information and wants, for example, to try the company’s product, then he may become a warm prospect. Then it’s the right time for the company and its sales team to contact them. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
