Sales Qualified Lead (SQL)

A lead that meets agreed criteria indicating sufficient fit and buying readiness for direct sales engagement.


BUSINESS RELEVANCE

It supports forecasting, prioritisation and cross-functional decisions when definitions and source data are consistent.


IMPLEMENTATION EXAMPLE

A cross-functional team applies Sales Qualified Lead (SQL) in a production initiative, defines ownership and success criteria, tests representative scenarios, monitors outcomes and records corrective actions before scaling.


LIMITATIONS

The measure or method can mislead when definitions, cohorts, margins, periods or source systems differ. It should not be interpreted without context.


TECHNICAL EXPLANATION

A lead that meets agreed criteria indicating sufficient fit and buying readiness for direct sales engagement. It should be defined with an explicit population, period, data source and calculation rule. Revenue teams should govern lifecycle stages, ownership and reconciliation so the value is comparable over time and connected to commercial decisions.
