Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL)

Definition

An MQL is a lead that has shown enough engagement to be considered more likely to become a customer than a general lead.

Simplified explanation

It is a lead that has shown meaningful interest, but is not yet ready for direct sales outreach.

Relevance to Penut

Penut helps teams design nurturing sequences that move MQLs toward higher-intent stages.
