What are Leads and how to generate them?
«The term lead is used in Marketing to refer to visitors who have voluntarily left us their contact details, to become part of our database and thus become future customers. It is very important to pay attention to their quality so that the conversion is more effective. “
At present we can find 3 types of leads:
1. Information-Qualified Leads (IQL)
It is named in this way because they do not have enough information to purchase the product or service that we offer so we have to help them make that decision. They are also called “cold”.
2. Marketing-Qualified Leads (MQL)
MQLs show interest in what we offer, but are not ready to buy yet. So we must guide them to choose us.
3. Sales-Qualified Leads (SQL)
It is a lead who has already made the decision to buy and is about to become a customer.
In Linkcard.app the differences are crystal clear to us and we want to show you tools that can help you retain the contacts that are in these 3 types of leads and thus transform them into customers.
