Eloqua, the leading provider of on-demand Revenue Performance Management solutions, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the "Leaders" quadrant in the first ever Magic Quadrant for CRM Lead Management. Eloqua was evaluated based on the company's completeness of vision and ability to execute.
According to Gartner, CRM Lead Management is the ability to "integrate business process and technology to close the loop between marketing and direct or indirect sales channels, and to drive higher-value opportunities through improved demand creation, execution, and opportunity management."1 The Gartner Magic Quadrant for CRM Lead Management report "underscores the critical contribution that lead management processes make in effective sales-led organizations." 2
Companies around the globe rely on Eloqua's lead management platform to track and respond to their potential buyers' "digital body language," automate the lead generation process, and drive revenue performance.

Eloqua's solutions help marketers effectively nurture and score leads so that the most qualified leads are delivered to the sales team which improves sales efficiency and increases close rates.
Given the revenue-driving impact of lead management technologies, Gartner concludes "the market for CRM lead management continues to grow rapidly: Marketing automation is expected to exceed $3 billion in 2012 fueled by a focus by business leaders on customer acquisition and customer retention, and on revenue growth." 3
"We're thrilled by Gartner's recognition positioning Eloqua in the 'Leaders' quadrant in the lead management space," said Joe Payne, CEO, Eloqua.
