  1. What are the different types of B2B Leads?

  2. What does B2B Lead Mean? • A lead is nothing but a potential client. A B2B lead means a potential business lead. Here, your potential client would be a company, not an individual. B2B leads are generated using different lead generation strategies like email generation, content syndication, appointment setting, content marketing, etc.

  3. What is B2B Lead Generation? • B2B lead generation process accommodates one of the initial steps in any typical marketing or sales funnel. Gathering all the required data about the potential customers - Name, email, job profile, etc. which could be used in future by the sales team. However, it does not happen so quickly and smoothly. Before qualifying for B2B Sales Leads or sales-ready leads, the gathered information goes through multiple filters. The data is sorted based on its status and eligibility into different types of leads.

Sales Qualified Leads (SQL): • What SQL means vary from company to company, depending upon the company's nature, client's expectations from the leads, etc. Marketing and sales team sometimes have to sit together and decide the difference between MQL and SQL as per their lead scaling measures. • Sales Qualified Lead is the next stage of MQL. Which means the sales team is the last part of lead generation funnel and has a responsibility of converting SQLs into the potential customers.
