The Goal of any business is profit. That is, making more money than you are spending. In Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt’s best-selling and ground-breaking book, entitled The Goal - A Process Of Ongoing Improvement, Goldratt puts this harsh reality front and center. Essentially, profit is the only true manner in which a business can (or should) evaluate its progress. The more profit, the healthier the company. It is your job, then, as a business owner and/or manager to engage in high-return activities. Lead Maximization, when applied properly, is one of the highest-return initiatives available to businesses today. Why? Because Lead Maximization is relatively inexpensive and incredibly impactful. It is a business discipline in which modest, incremental changes can yield extremely profitable results.
To understand Lead Maximization, one must first understand what we like to call the mechanical economy of lead maximization. Or, if you prefer, Lead Maximization Theory (on which this paper is based). Essentially, the mechanical economy of lead maximization is a set of truisms. Similar to Geometry Theorems, Lead Max Theorems define a set of assumptions and then a corresponding equation and diagram demonstrating the relationships between variables.

In light of the Goal, it is important to stress that the “art” and “science” of Lead Maximization is only recommended when it makes sense to apply it. And by that we mean, if there is an activity that offers a higher ROI than that offered by applying the principles of Lead Maximization Theory, by all means we would urge you to do that (whatever that may be) first! This is because adherence to the Goal means that we are obligated to pursue those activities which yield the greatest net profit.
