This guide outlines how to use RevSure’s capabilities to manage MQL-to-SAL progression, analyze the influenced pipeline by source, and prioritize leads and accounts effectively.
Step 1: Streamline Lead Progression from MQL to SAL
Ensuring a smooth transition from Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) to Sales Accepted Lead (SAL) is critical for maintaining momentum in the funnel. RevSure's Unified Funnel and Pipeline view empowers you to:
- Track MQL Conversion Rates: Measure how effectively MQLs progress to SALs by analyzing conversion rates at this stage.
- Identify Bottlenecks: Pinpoint where leads stall during the handoff process and address communication or qualification gaps between teams.
- Implement Feedback Loops: Drill into leakage trends and use insights from SAL rejections to refine MQL definitions or adjust lead scoring criteria, ensuring that only high-quality leads are passed to sales.
Step 2: Analyze Influenced Pipeline by Source
Understanding the pipeline’s source attribution is vital to aligning marketing efforts with sales outcomes. RevSure Demand Generation Effectiveness view provides:
- Pipeline Influence by Marketing Channels: Assess which marketing sources (e.g., paid ads, email campaigns, events) generate the most pipeline influence.
- Source-Specific Metrics: Break down the influenced pipeline by source to identify which channels drive high-quality leads that convert into opportunities.
- Data-Driven Alignment: Share these insights across sales and marketing teams to ensure efforts focus on channels that directly contribute to pipeline success.
Step 3: Prioritize Leads and Accounts Effectively
Lead and account prioritization ensures that sales and marketing efforts target the most impactful opportunities. RevSure offers comprehensive capabilities:

- Focus on High-Impact Opportunities: Prioritize accounts with the highest likelihood of conversion and the greatest potential to influence the pipeline, same as leads and opportunity.
Step 4: Foster Collaboration with Shared Metrics
Shared metrics create transparency and accountability between sales and marketing teams. RevSure enables you to:
