MQL

Marketing Qualified Lead

A lead that meets predefined criteria for interest and profile — marketing considers it ready to be handed over to sales.

Why it matters

A shared definition of MQL is the only way to stop marketing and sales from arguing about lead quality.

What's missing without it

Without this definition, marketing reports hundreds of 'leads,' while sales says they have nothing to work with — and both sides are right.

When it is used

When setting lead handoff rules, building scoring models, reporting campaign effectiveness.

How we use it

Downloaded a report, opened three emails, company address, company size over 50 people → MQL.
