FAQ

Lead Qualification Specialist Questions

Which qualification framework do you use?

Yours. If you don't have one, we'll help you set simple criteria, often based on BANT (budget, authority, need, timing), and refine them after the first few weeks.

Will unqualified leads be lost?

No. Leads that aren't ready yet are tagged and handed to nurture, so marketing can follow up later.

Can the specialist book meetings too?

Yes. Many clients have the specialist book qualified leads straight into the team's calendar.

How do you measure lead quality?

We track what share of leads meet your criteria, by source, and review it with you, so marketing and sales agree on what a good lead looks like.
