MARKETING VS SALES LEAD GENERATION.

Two worlds, one goal: more customers. Understand the difference and get the best of both.

Marketing-Led

Marketing attracts leads through content, SEO and campaigns. These MQLs show interest but aren't ready for a sales conversation yet.

  • Content marketing and SEO
  • Social media campaigns
  • Lead magnets and downloads
  • Website forms
  • Email nurturing

Sales-Led

Sales approaches prospects directly via cold calling, LinkedIn and email. This approach works best for complex B2B sales.

  • Cold calling and outreach
  • LinkedIn prospecting
  • Targeted email campaigns
  • Account-based approach
  • Direct qualification
The best results come from a combined approach

INBOUND VS OUTBOUND.

Two strategies that strengthen each other when combined smartly.

Inbound Marketing

Let customers come to you by providing value. Works well for long-term growth.

  • Blog content
  • SEO strategy
  • Webinars
  • Whitepapers
  • Social media

Outbound Sales

Take initiative and approach your ideal customers directly. Faster results, more control.

  • Cold calling
  • Email sequences
  • LinkedIn outreach
  • Direct mail
  • Events

Full-Funnel Approach

Combine inbound and outbound for maximum results. Warm up prospects with content and approach them directly.

  • Higher conversion
  • Shorter sales cycles
  • More touchpoints
  • Better qualification
  • Scalable model

MARKETING & SALES ALIGNMENT.

Marketing and sales must work together, not alongside each other. When both teams are aligned, results double. We help you build that bridge.

Shared Definitions

2

Lead Scoring Model

Automatically determine which leads are ready for sales based on behavior and fit.

3

SLA Between Teams

Clear agreements on follow-up: when, how fast and with what information.

4

Feedback Loop

Sales provides input back to marketing about lead quality. Continuous improvement.

They show interest by consuming content, filling out forms or responding to outreach.

03

Consideration

Middle of Funnel

Active research into solutions. They compare options and seek more information.

04

Ready to buy. They have a shortlist and want pricing and demos.

After the sale, the cycle starts again: upsell, referrals and loyalty

FROM MQL TO SQL.

Understand the lead journey and know when sales should take over.

MQL

Marketing Qualified Lead

A lead that has shown interest through marketing channels. Downloaded content, attended webinar or filled out a form.

Marketing Team
SAL

Sales Accepted Lead

Marketing has handed off the lead to sales. Sales has accepted that the lead fits the ICP and is worth pursuing.

Sales Team
SQL

Sales Qualified Lead

Sales has qualified the lead via BANT or MEDDIC. There's budget, need, timing and the right decision maker at the table.

"BY ALIGNING MARKETING AND SALES WE TRIPLED OUR CONVERSION."

A B2B SaaS company had many MQLs but few sales. Marketing and sales pointed at each other. After implementing a shared lead scoring model and SLA, conversion from MQL to customer rose from 4% to 12%.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

Everything you want to know about lead generation and marketing.

Marketing leads (MQLs) are people who have shown interest through content or campaigns but aren't ready for a sales conversation. Sales leads (SQLs) are qualified and ready to talk to a salesperson. The difference lies in the degree of buying intent and fit.
Inbound works well if you have time to build a content engine and pursue organic growth. Outbound is faster and gives you more control over your pipeline. The best approach is usually a combination of both.
Signs of misalignment: many leads that aren't followed up, sales complaining about lead quality, marketing not getting feedback. If you use the same definitions for MQL and SQL and regularly coordinate, you're on the right track.
Lead scoring assigns points to leads based on behavior and demographic fit. It helps prioritize which leads should be followed up first. With more than 50 leads per month, it's almost always valuable.
Inbound content marketing takes 6-12 months for serious results. Outbound can deliver the first leads within 2-4 weeks. A combined approach provides both quick wins and long-term growth.
