MQL (Marketing Qualified Lead)
A lead who has indicated interest in what a brand has to offer based on marketing efforts or is more likely to become a customer than other leads.
A Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) is a prospect who has taken an action that indicates interest but is not yet ready for a sales call. They are “raising their hand” but haven’t opened their wallet.
Examples of MQL Actions
- Downloading a Lead Magnet (like an ebook).
- Signing up for a newsletter.
- Repeatedly visiting the pricing page.
- Adding items to a cart but abandoning it.
Identifying MQLs allows you to focus your energy on people who are actually interested, rather than cold traffic.
