What’s the best way to increase revenue?

More leads, better leads or deeper relationships?

This question doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all answer. Many organisations instinctively chase volume: more leads, more outreach, more pipeline. But is that really the most effective path?

Personally, I’ve found that quality beats quantity almost every time. A smaller pool of well-qualified leads, backed by strong data and insights, often converts better than a flood of unqualified prospects. Knowing why a lead is a good fit (and what challenges they’re facing) can make every conversation more meaningful.

Then there’s the debate between new business vs. account development. Growing existing accounts can be faster, more cost-effective and often more sustainable than constantly hunting for new logos. Yet, this requires alignment with Customer Success... because retaining and expanding accounts is a team sport!

And let’s not forget the role of CRM discipline. It’s tempting to see data entry as admin work, but accurate tracking creates visibility, informs strategy and uncovers patterns that drive future growth. The time invested here often pays dividends later.

For me, the sweet spot is a balanced approach:

▪️ Invest in quality insights for lead generation
▪️ Prioritise account development where possible
▪️ Leverage Customer Success as a growth partner
▪️ Treat your CRM as a strategic asset, not a chore
