What is lead qualification?

Lead qualification is the process of deciding which enquiries are a genuine fit for what you sell, so sales time goes to the ones most likely to convert.

Traditionally a form or a discovery call. Increasingly it happens before contact: a visitor who can get straight answers on price range, scope and coverage qualifies themselves, and only books when there's a fit.

Why it matters

Qualification that happens after a call has already cost you the call. Publishing the answers — and making them easy to get to — moves the filter earlier, which is cheaper for both sides.

Examples

  • Publishing a minimum project size so mismatched enquiries self-select out.
  • Answering coverage-area questions before a booking is offered.
  • Handing a visitor a booking link once their practical questions are resolved.
