There are leads, then there are qualified leads. Is there much of a difference? When examined from a lead generation marketing perspective, you bet there is.

The marketing term “lead” can be misleading in a sense. There are many lead generation companies out there that will provide your business with a massive list of leads. For a certain price, you can attain thousands of leads to pursue. But these leads are essentially just a name and contact information that have been picked up through various other company mailing lists. Are they really your target? Where did all these leads actually come from? That's the risk of buying leads from an outside source. You could be wasting valuable time and money marketing to the wrong people.

A qualified lead can be defined as potential customer who has expressed interest in a product or service and meets general buying criteria. These leads are the ones a business seeks to attract and target with various marketing campaigns. They've already told you that they are interested and want to be kept informed of future marketing promotions.

The best way to ensure you are getting qualified leads is to generate them yourself through your website. Through the use of online lead generation marketing tools such as surveys, newsletters, and free offers, a business can easily attain a list of qualified leads. If someone has visited your site, browsed around and left you their contact information, then you are one step closer in converting that visitor into a sale. Converting the qualified lead into a sale might not happen overnight, but with the proper lead cultivation tactics, the odds increase dramatically and you can start to realize the rewards of your lead generation marketing efforts. Remember, the purpose of online lead generation marketing is to initiate the sales process, not complete it.
