Sales Qualified Leads

The Marketing and sales funnel is most effective when buyers move from one buying phase to the next; inquiries to leads, leads to Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs), MQLs to Sales Qualified leads (SQLs) and SQLs to closed business.

Moving buyers through each phase requires more than cold calling, advertising or digital marketing alone. If the objective is to build robust and growing sales pipelines with sales qualified leads, then the information communicated must progress in depth and relevance as the buyers moves from the inquiry phase to purchasing. This is referred to as lead nurturing.
