What is an MQL (Marketing Qualified Lead)?
A lead that meets specific criteria indicating higher likelihood of becoming a customer, based on behavior, demographics, or engagement level. For example, someone who downloads a whitepaper, attends a webinar, and visits pricing pages might be considered an MQL. Used in B2B marketing to prioritize leads for sales teams. Companies like Marketo and Oracle use lead scoring systems to identify MQLs.
Quality MQLs demonstrate clear interest, budget authority, and alignment with ideal customer profiles. Focus on behavioral signals, engagement patterns, and qualification criteria.
Nurture MQLs through targeted content, personalized communication, and automated workflows. Track engagement and adjust strategies based on response.
Convert MQLs through sales alignment, proper timing, and value demonstration. Focus on qualification process and handoff optimization.
