Understanding Leads in Zendesk Sell

Learn what a lead is in Zendesk Sell and how it fits into your sales process.

What is a lead in Zendesk Sell?

A lead in Zendesk Sell is a person or company that hasn't previously worked with your organization. It's the initial stage in the sales process where you store relevant information about potential clients to assess business potential. Typically, a lead is created after being qualified by Marketing (MQL) but before Sales (SQL) qualification. You can create leads in various ways, such as through web forms, integrations, bulk imports, or manually. Once a lead is qualified, it can be converted to a contact and deal, which is a one-way process to keep unqualified prospects out of your sales pipeline.
