The Critical Importance Of Lead Validation In Internet Marketing

December 20, 2017 / By Opt-Intelligence

In an increasingly connected digital world, we recognize the need for a diverse marketing and lead generation strategy. Sometimes that means testing and trying a variety of tactics and partners. Today we’ve got a guest post that talks about the importance of lead validation.
