SQL
Definition
Sales Qualified Lead -- a lead that has been vetted by the sales team and confirmed as a genuine opportunity worth pursuing.
SQLs have passed both marketing qualification and an initial sales review, typically through a discovery call or detailed qualification conversation. The MQL-to-SQL conversion rate is a key indicator of lead quality and marketing-sales alignment. Moving a lead to SQL status usually means it enters the active sales pipeline with a defined next step and an estimated close date.
