What is Lead Qualification?

 Lead qualification is the process of identifying and organizing potential customers best-suited for your products or services and who will most likely make a purchase. Lead qualification involves two main steps: determining when a prospect is ready for follow up from your sales team and determining when a prospect is ready for follow up from your marketing team. The first step is to assess the prospect’s level of interest, need, budget, and authority to buy your product or service.
