This space invites anyone with a pulse in. Those that have no follow-up processes in place or the ability demonstrate value are typically the one blaming leads. That article doesn't cite a source from what I can tell. I find it unlikely those putting up real numbers were the source of that blanket statement.
Personally a huge fan of having a solid referral base as opposed to outbound. Of course building that base is the trick, lol. I got spoiled in my last position (employee) and forgot what a pain in the ass it is to build/rebuild one.
