Pipeline Marketing is a strategy to help you convert your leads into customers. It combines sales and marketing data to help in converting leads into customers rather than generating leads. Pipeline marketing helps entrepreneurs design a cost-effective and efficient sales process. It is more accurately defined as redirecting your marketing and sales efforts to focus exactly where they matter. You focus solely on the narrower end of the funnel rather than the top. This is, however, not similar to smarketing because smarketing involves lead generation, nurturing, and conversion into a customer. Pipeline marketing, on the other hand, is focused only on converting leads and prospects into customers.
