leadterraDefine the measures before launch
| Measure | Meaning | Evidence to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Account fit | The business matches the targeting criteria. | Criteria and the researched facts supporting the match. |
| Qualified interest | The conversation satisfies the agreed qualification requirements. | The exchange and qualification notes. |
| Booked meeting | A sales appointment has been confirmed. | The booking record and agreed purpose. |
| Attended meeting | The sales conversation took place. | Attendance and sales feedback. |
These are working definitions for a campaign brief. Your agreement should specify the exact counting rules, including who confirms attendance and how cancellations or rescheduling are treated.
Make qualification specific to the offer
Begin with business fit, buying involvement, and relevant interest. Add budget, timing, geography, account size, or use-case requirements when they affect whether your team should take the conversation.
A requirement needs a way to be checked. If revenue is important but the source does not establish it, record it as unknown. If the buyer’s reply expresses interest but says nothing about timing, do not turn that interest into a confirmed timeline.
- What criteria must be met before a booking?
- Which facts can be researched and which require a conversation?
- What can remain unknown for the sales team to explore?
- What evidence must accompany the handoff?
A useful handoff carries context
The sales team should be able to understand why the prospect agreed to talk, what has already been discussed, and which qualification requirements were checked. Retain the exchange and the relevant notes alongside the booking.
An illustrative handoff could record that a business matches the target market, expressed interest in discussing support for a planned expansion, and confirmed a sales appointment. It should still identify any unresolved requirement. This describes a sample workflow, not a customer result.
Separate campaign counts from sales outcomes
A campaign review can examine qualified replies, confirmed bookings, attendance, and subsequent sales progress. Using one number for all of them hides where the process needs attention.
A cancellation may require a reschedule. A completed call may reveal a mismatch the earlier qualification did not catch. Capture both as feedback, apply the written counting rules, and refine the targeting or questions that caused the issue.
Use the pilot to review fit and handoff quality
Before expanding, ask whether the meetings match the agreed audience, whether the buyer understood the purpose of the conversation, and whether the handoff gave your team enough context to prepare.
