A Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) is a term used in marketing and sales to identify a potential prospect who has demonstrated a certain level of interest or engagement with a company’s marketing efforts. MQLs are individuals or contacts who, based on their interactions with marketing content and campaigns, are deemed more likely to become future customers. MQLs are a crucial step in the lead generation process, indicating that a lead has met specific criteria and is ready for further nurturing and potential handoff to the sales team.
