Trouble is, even great sales people take the time to learn what works and doesn't work in your leads. But still, do not waste your time on those leads who are not active in buyers journey.

Even the best sales people run out of capacity and losing a deal because they don't really have time to chase it. So, automating when to chase someone and how many times kind of workflows with time frames are to be automated to make process smooter.
