Inquiries

A raw response, or hand-raiser to an outbound marketing program; relatively little is

known about the prospect at this point. (A-D lead score or no score at all)

Marketing Qualified

Leads (MQLs)

A lead – by way of definition and service-level agreement – that is deemed “ready”

for Sales to work. (Lead score contains A or B)

Sales Qualified

Leads (SQLs)

SQL = Opportunity; A lead that has evolved into an opportunity, one that is deemed

“pipeline quality” by the organization. (Lead Status = 5 – Created Opportunity, Opportunity: Stage = All)

Closed/Won

Business

An opportunity that has come to fruition. (Account type = customer)

Sales Accepted

Leads (SALs)

A lead that has been formally accepted by Sales; when this occurs, Sales is compelled to work

the lead in a given time frame. (Rating = Qualified, Lead Status = 2-1st attempt - 4-3rd attempt, Working, or 9-Closed - Lost to Competitor)
