Grand Rapids, MI – December 13, 2011 – The Annuitas Group, a recognized leader in lead management process consulting, today announced that Carlos Hidalgo, co-founder and CEO, was named for the third consecutive in the Sales Lead Management Association’s (SLMA) 2010 50 Most Influential People in Sales Lead Management list. The SLMA annual poll is voted on by peers and colleagues, and recognizes leaders who are paving the way in sales and marketing innovation.
As an industry thought leader, Carlos Hidalgo has been a leading B2B marketing executive and practitioner for over 15 years. In both his experience working for and with some of the largest global B2B companies, Hidalgo has gained first-hand knowledge and a true understanding of the challenges that marketing and sales organizations face today.

In 2011, B2B Magazine also selected Hidalgo as a Who’s Who in Demand Generation and Focus.com appointed him an advisor for lead management and marketing automation.
“Carlos is one of the true visionaries in the B2B marketing industry,” said Craig Rosenberg, leader of the Focus Expert Network, www.focus.com. “He realizes that organizations need real-world solutions and education vs. band-aids and quick-fix solutions, and brings the practical know how on making this a reality for his clients. This is one of the many reasons why The Annuitas Group is so well-respected and why the MAI is an important addition to our industry.”
