Why is the Sales Qualified Lead (SQL) stage important for both your sales and marketing teams?

 

It will help your sales and marketing teams remain on the same page in terms of the quality and volume of MQLs that marketing is handing over

 

It has no relevance to smarketing and is simply used for executive teams to track sales activity

 

It will help your marketing team determine if they need to use closed-loop reporting

 

There is no difference between an SQL and an MQL, thus this stage has no relevance to smarketing

True or False? Marketing is responsible for defining a Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) and sales is responsible for defining a Sales Qualified Lead (SQL).

 

False: Both teams work together to come up with a common definition of the terms

 

True: Marketing and sales must use the same words, but it’s OK for the definitions to be different

 

False: As long as both teams understand what the other team is using as a definition, they can stay separate

 

True: It’s important for marketing and sales to have their own definition for the same words

 

Explanation:

Both teams must work together to come up with a common definition of the terms.

1) Determine how to classify leads
2) Assess and determine on how identified leads will be contacted (by salesperson or by automated email marketing)

A marketing qualified lead is defined as a lead of interest. It means that the lead fits the predetermined qualifications. Its reaction to email marketing will determine whether this MQL will become a SQL.

A sales qualified lead is defined as a hot lead. It means that the salesperson must contact the lead within 48 hours because the probability of closing a sale is high.
