If we pay close attention to avoid the common mistakes, content marketing can drive leads that are more relevant, targeted and qualified than a traditional outbound push.

So marketing sends more. So marketing tightens the quality standards and sends fewer but higher quality leads. My advice is to B2B Marketers is to follow this natural ebb and flow.
