The path towards better systems and processes in your Freelance Lead Generation Consultant role starts with mapping out your most important business processes. Being able to see your business processes laid out visually helps you to collaborate with your team on how to improve and grow.

To help you start mapping out your processes, we’ve developed a sample flow for a Freelance Lead Generation Consultant Workflow Map that you can use with your team to start clarifying your processes and then run Business Experiments so you can build a better business.
