Imagine having a website that is soaring high, ranked at the top, and has everything that a site needs to be successful, such as SEO optimization, best AdWords campaign, fruitful marketing strategies as well as high-quality content. But, unfortunately, you still not getting the required ROI or sales are not satisfactory.

Well, that might be pretty frustrating but the question is, WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU MISSING? And the answer is quite simple: LEAD GENERATION STRATEGIES! You are lacking in that department.

If you have satisfactory CTRs but seeing users leaving without moving forward to the next step of contacting you, you are definitely far behind in your effective lead generation planning.

A person who has shown a great involvement in your brand marketing through getting engaged in your available content, through emailing you or contacting you from any of the social media platforms, but hasn’t taken any step towards a sales conversation.

They could be a fruitful lead as they seem already attracted towards the business and might stick around or return. It is more like browsing through the services, adding items to the cart, and then leaving without checking out.

Sales Qualified Lead (SQL)

A direct type of lead where the person shows high interest towards your brand. They are named SALES LEAD because due to their familiarity with your brand, they are more likely to take a step to become a sales conversation.

Product Qualified Lead (PQL)
