Why Your Leads Aren’t Converting (and What to Do About It)

Tue, 27 May 2025 07:00:00 -0400

You’ve built awareness. You’ve generated demand. You’ve captured leads. So why aren’t they converting?

In this episode of The Marketing Phoenix, Melissa "Rogo" Rogozinski is joined by B2B growth expert Martha MacPherson to tackle the silent killer of sales pipelines: poor lead management.

Most early-stage legal tech and B2B companies pour their energy (and budget) into brand awareness and lead generation—only to drop the ball once those leads come in. Sound familiar? Melissa and Martha break down why that happens, what it costs, and how to fix it.

This episode explores the full go-to-market lifecycle—from generating demand to capturing leads, tracking them with precision, and maximizing every close-lost opportunity. If you're capturing leads but failing to convert them into clients, this conversation will help you rethink how your marketing and sales systems must work together to drive sustainable growth.
