What is a Product Qualified Lead in sales and marketing in SaaS?

PQLs are often considered to be further along in the sales process than other types of leads.

A Product Qualified Lead (PQL) is a term that is used to describe a lead that has been identified as being interested in a specific product, and is therefore more likely to become a customer. PQLs are commonly used in the software as a service (SaaS) industry, as they allow sales and marketing teams to focus their efforts on leads that are interested in a particular product or feature set.

 

To qualify as a PQL, a lead typically needs to have demonstrated a level of engagement with the product, such as by signing up for a free trial or requesting more information about the product. PQLs are often considered to be further along in the sales process than other types of leads, and may be more likely to close as customers.

 

By identifying and prioritizing PQLs, sales and marketing teams can focus their efforts on the leads that are most likely to result in closed deals, and can optimize their sales and marketing efforts to better target and engage these leads.
