Childcare’s long sales cycle creates focus on nurturing leads efficiently
Customer acquisition in the early childhood sector is challenging. Not only is it a competitive market to try and engage new families and encourage them to consider your centre, but these numbers show us that it is just the start of a long journey to convert leads to customers.
