People sometimes shudder at the thought of working to a deadline. They can be seen as stressful, constraining and often arbitrary. It can feel like delivery dates are chosen on a whim and imposed randomly.

The most common way to think about leads is to put them in two buckets: inbound and outbound. The first is owned by marketing and the second by sales. But I’d like to introduce the idea of a third, your invisible leads. These are the invisible buyers who visit your website, check out your product and even research your solution on a site like G2Crowd or LinkedIn, but ultimately, never get in touch.

Why do we want business users to build RPA bots in the first place? It’s no secret and I hear it in almost every organization I have observed throughout my tenure and it is a big reason why RPA (although existed for 20+ years) suddenly became mainstream a few years ago. The fact that in an organization, traditionally IT and business have not always seen eye to eye (I know, shocker right) and in many cases have not even looked each other in the eye for quite some time.
